my rig has been stable for months asus p5w-dh, q6600, gtx260, antec 550w.
yesterday it booted to vista logon and powered off "like a power cut" then wouldnt boot to bios disconnected everything still the same i then took the 5 year old antec 550 apart and cleaned all the dust out of it and it worked .
today i had the same problem and i just left it till tonight as my room is a lot cooler and removed the side panel guess what it booted no problem, i am using it right now
this dosnt seem like a typical psu problem but all my temps are fine
what do you guys think
i was going to buy a cheep ebuyer Arctic Power 700W PSU to test as i don't have another psu that's powerful enough to test with
many thanks tris
