I turned my pc on this morning, a second later it turned off and it turned all the sockets in the house off. Flicked the switch on to get the sockets back on. Tried the computer and it won't come on at all there's no lights on the system or fans moving, just nothing.
Computer is completely new and built at start of October, what's wrong and how do I fix it?
 
Thanks for the reply everyone. So I managed to take the PSU out and put it back in original box. Off to my local post office tomorrow and hope overclockers confirm it's a PSU.
 
Update:
Overclockers stated that the power supply was faulty, but they couldn't replace it with another one as it was out of stock. So instead they are replacing it with the platinum model at no extra cost. Fantastic support from them and a bit of relief to know it was a faulty PSU else I would be a bit stuck on what went wrong.
 
Installed new power supply, everything is up and running from what I can tell. Is there any checks I should do to make sure it's okay?
So far I have:
Checked device manager
Temps of parts
Checked bios for temps aswell, also to see if my expo is still on.
Played 5 minutes of baldurs gate 3, no changes.

Part of the job of a good PSU is to fail gracefully and protect the other components. As you have just found out, Seasonic make good PSUs.

Hope so I'm sat here watching it run and hoping it's okay.

Should I get a surge protector for it, I've ordered one and can pick it up today?
