Some info on my system:
I built it about 8 months ago, all brand new parts through amazon or newegg. As of use, I use this PC a lot, though nothing I do is ever really pushing my machine. It is on for about 10 hours a day, while I watch youtube, twitch, work on homework or play League of Legends and Counter Strike: GO. The hardest thing I have used this machine for are some video games, mainly skyrim and far cry 4 on max settings, but its been months since I have played anything that intensive.
Specs:
CPU: i7-4790k
CPU Cooler: NZXT Havik 140
Video Card: r9-290
Motherboard: msi g45 z97
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750m
Hard Drive: seagate barracuda 1tb
Case: fractal design refine r4
Software: Windows 8.1
Anyways, heres my problem.
Yesterday, I get home and as soon as I get to my room, the first thing I do is try to turn on my PC, doesnt work. Press the on button a couple more times but I have no luck. So, I decide to open up my case to try and see what was wrong, all the pins and connections seemed just fine. Then, I just turn off and on my power supply. Shortly after, my pc turns on for a split second, then turns off again. Not even enough time to boot up, just enough for the fans to spin a few times and the led light to blink.
Anyway, I had an errand to run in 30 minutes, so i just decide to leave my power supply unplugged until i could get back with more time to work on it. I come back in an hour and try booting again and somehow it works perfectly fine.
Now, my question is, what should I do?
Should i yank the cord of my PSU before it blows or will it work just fine now?
Is there any way I can find out if something is wrong?
I am looking into the warranty for this PSU in case anything happens, but unfortunately i threw away the box, I am keeping an eye out for good deals on PSU's in case as well.
Would really appreciate any help.
