Hello, ve had a corsair ax760i since xmas. Worked perfectly fine when i got it and has done for the past 3 months. I got home from work today to turn my pc on and nothing... Looked at the PSU and the there was a red light on the psu (normally where the green one is) Obviously seeing this made me unhappy anyway. I removed all the cables and pressed the self test button and it ran fine so i did a few tests and worked perfect. Plugged all the cables back in (i use the red braided corsair kit) andnow its come on fine as if there was no fault. Im a little worried now though as to what the fault was? never had this problem before and the pc has been perfect no issues, shut down fine last night after playing a game and i have never done any overclocking on my pc everything is default. Could you please advise me on what i should do? should i be worried or should i wait and see what happens

System Specs:
Corsair Dominator GT 16Gb, Windows 7 64bit, AMD Phenom II x6 1090t Black Edition 3.20Ghz, Asus Crosshair IV Formula DDR3 Motherboard, MSI Radeon 290x 4GB, Corsair ax760i, Corsair H105 cpu cooler

Im really looking for some help here had a bad week and work and come home to the pc not working D: Its all working fine now but im still unsure...




Update it broke again.. died half way through a game of Dota.
When the pc starts up now it says CPU fan error?

Yeah i know about the cpu fan and how to get rid of that.

its that the power supply wont turn on in the first place and then it sometimes fails the self test. thank you for being the only one to reply though. Ive gone and ordered a new psu and i will get my current one rma'd and then sell that to make some money back.

whats annoyed me most is that cause the psu kept cutting out it corrupted windows on my ssd so not ive had to do a fresh install of windows
 
When you are doing self test, make sure that all cables unplugged from the PSU. Also, you need to hold self test button when performing the self test.

I have a feeling that you're PSU is perfectly fine, unless of course you have a different PSU to test with the system and get a different behavior.
 
Yeah i did the full test correctly with no cables in. Sometimes it passed sometimes it didnt at all just clicked.

Ive since spoken to a corsair rep and the power supply is going back to be fixed. I do have another 760i which i ordered from OCUK and everything seems to work perfectly fine now.

Thanks for the replies
