4 year PSU

My OCZ ZX1250w is nearly 4 years old, just lately I have been getting random resets, I think it may be on the way out?

How long do PSUs generally take to wear out?

Their efficiency/capabilities will drop a bit with age but normally unless you've specced it very close to the minimum you shouldn't see issues due to that for atleast 10 years unless the PSU has been really rinsed with insufficient cooling.
