Recently I went away and came back to find my pc had been left on all that time, I turned pubg on and the game crashed along with sound glitches so I turned my pc off to stop over heating, ever since then when iv turned my pc on the fans have come on along with the cpu cooler fan but it won’t post and the fans sound something like a slow moving train as they speed up and slow down, along with the leds flashing when it slows, could anybody suggest what to do?

As a generic PSU is almost equal a crap and unsafe PSU, I assume that is likely to be the problem. If you are lucky that PSU hasn't damaged anything else and you should swap it out for a better unit. If you are not so lucky it has already damaged your motherboard and maybe your GPU as well.


CPU:AMD FX-8350
GPU:Asus Expedition 1050ti
PSU: Generic 500w
RAM: 2x8gb vengeance pro 2400mh
MOBO: Asrock 970m Pro3
CPU cooler is A cooler master hyper 103
