My pc turns on and immediately gets off.. I thought it is power supply problem so I tried changing smps and removing battery. Tried removing rams and checked wires. Nothing worked. Please help..
Lesson learned : never buy anything from relatives.
My built is I5 4440 2.8, DDR3 RAM 4+4, graphic card R7 250 1gb ddr5..
Tried removing graphics card..

I once had a cheap PSU that worked for almost 3 months and all of a sudden stopped working while I was playing a game. It seemed like it had good enough specs to support my GTX 460 that I had back then but I guess it was too cheaply made to last. I doubt the PSU has failed because they usually stop working altogether when they fail.


That is not full system specs and that is not full model name of the PSU. However I can tell already that it is a crap PSU.

Full system specs goes like

CPU: I5-4440
Motherboard: Full brand and model name
RAM: Full brand and model name
GPU: Full brand and model name
PSU: Full brand and model name including wattage.
..And so on.
 


Not sure why you keep calling it smps, it's a PSU and stuff tends to fail at some point or another, specially cheap stuff. Your PSU was maybe working and has now failed for all we know.

Agree. It could also be something as simple as a short some where. Anyway he should change that PSU to a safe and better unit.
