Today I received a brand new psu, a Corsair CX600. I fitted it and powered up my rig, and I got a message in my bios saying that a power surge had been detected and the PC had rebooted to protect the PC.

After hitting F2 to continue, windows began loading a got stuck on "Starting Windows".

I rebooted the PC, and now my hard drives are not working. They turn on for one second, and then go off for a second, then come back on.. And this cycle doesn't stop. All three do this now.

As well as this, there is no longer a picture on the output, no signal is detected by the screen.

I've checked and double checked my connections and everything is fine.

Anyone got any advice?

Yes, it was a replacement after the old one failed, whilst I was waiting for the new part, I used a spare psu I had so all the parts were functioning perfectly till I changed the psu.
