PSU DIED overnight...

[LWiles18]

Hey there,

I'm really worried hence the title. I went to bed as normal, turned my computer off at the wall and everything. Woke up the next morning, done everything as normal and my PC will not turn on no matter what. Usually when I first turn it on the lights inside the case light up and my peripherals also do. But now there's nothing, it's just dead. I've done nothing AT ALL to damage the system. I've tried different wall sockets and adapters, tried reconfiguring the front panel connectors and I've double, triple checked everything. I've already emailed/called the people who built the PC and they want to issue an RMA for the system but I'm asking them to just send out the PSU part because I truly believe it's that that had died. I just don't want the hassle when I'm 90 percent sure I know the issue. Thought I'd come to you guys for some advice.

Also I have 2 monitors and another plug in the 4-way plug I'm using and they go onto standby fine, so it's clearly not my electrics.

Hope someone can shed some light on this situation.

Many thanks.

If you bought this from a gaming prebuilt company such as Cyberpower or iBuypower, then you have most likely been shafted on your PSU.

They are notorious for cutting corners on the power supply to keep the prices down. Not only are they a risk to your system, but they can actually be dangerous.

If your PSU did not fry the rest of your components, it would be better to replace the PSU yourself with a quality part instead of the housefires they will undoubtedly give you.

Can you provide us the model number of your PSU? It will be on the side of the unit.

It wasn't a pre-built PC, I chose the parts from a website called Gladiator PC/Aria Technology. They basically take the components you chose, put it together and ship it to you. So it kind of is a pre-built but isn't XD.

The PSU is a Corsair RM750i 80+ Gold. I have a warranty with them anyways and have been sending emails back and fourth about a possible replacement.

Model No. is RPS0008
Part No. is CP-9020082 / 75-010835

Also if they do send me a new PSU will I be able to use the same cables? (Since its fully modular and is the exact same one)
