Hello, i recently installed a new video card on to my machine and it was working perfectly, installed new drivers restarted the comp and it was fine but then played a game and i noticed it running smooth and then started to get choppy and then boom, computer turns off and i cant turn it back on,
i think it may be the power supply as i opened the computer and removed the card as i guessed the computer didn't have enough power to handle the new graphics card and it still did not turn on.
and when i plug in the cable for my psu the motherboard shows a power light and so does the graphics card, but when i try to power on the psu does nothing the fan doesn't even move a tiny bit.
the psu i am using is a cheap one so i guess its past its life span but i wanted to know if anyone else has had this and also wanted to know the chances that it is just the power supply that is broken and not any other component, and i have tried to start the computer from a cold start and still does nothing as i have read through a lot of posts on this forum regarding this type of issue.
any help would be appreciated thank you
