I don't know much about PSUs but my PC had recently been giving me issues every time I played a game. My display drivers would crash and recover or sometimes not recover at all and leave me with a black screen. When I tried to turn it on today nothing happened. I did notice my headset flashing on and off when i turned my PSU on. Does it when i flip the switch only and it also does it once every time. So should I RMA or not? BTW my PSU is a Corsair CX600 (Non-modular)
 
Solution
The problem could be many places such as the motherboard, graphics card the psu.
Find a known good psu that you can test with. If it works, then you can confidently RMA the psu. Corsair is very good about RMA but will want to know that you run ok with a good psu.
