Hi guys,
Came back from a short trip to Switzerland and my PC wouldn't turn on upon hitting the on button.
I tried switching the Kettle lead out and verified that the plug was working but still no joy. The only clue I got was twice during the process of switching things out when the lights/fan turned on for half a second when I pressed the power button - and then shut down again before the fans had even done one rotation.
My suspicion is that my PSU has finally breathed its last but wanted to check if others agreed with this diagnosis or if I could be dealing with something else. There were no warning signs before this but then I did buy it five years ago. I have given it the nose test and nothing smells burned or anything.
Would appreciate any second opinions people have
My rig:
Intel 9700k Stock
MSI z390-A-Pro ATX Motherboard
MSI Armor GTX 1080
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16gb (2x 8gb)
Seagate Barracude 2tb HHD
Samsung 860 Evo 500gb SSD
OCZ-CXS500W Core XStream (500 watts)
