Hi there,
I am trying to fix a friends pc,the first thing i noticed was a burnt electrical smell from the PSU,so i connected another one to see if it would run.
when i turned it on,the cpu fan turned for a few seconds and stopped.
i checked the CMOS battery and still the same,checked all cables are connected properly(all good)still the issue remains.
i replaced thermal paste on cpu(it seemed fine)
the psu has these specs....its a very cheap psu
dc output +3.3v=25a orange
+5v=20a red
+12v= 30a yellow
PG(gray)-12v=0.5a(blue) +5vsb=2.5a(purple)
output watts 550w max
the psu i tested on the pc is brand new

im not sure what to do next.
is it possible the mobo is dead?
any assistance is appreciated.
thanks
