well i got my replacement PSU today and i installed it myself bear in mind i have zero/nil experience what so ever in this kind of thing so to say i was worried was an understatement but any way i cracked on
i looked at all the cables and it was pretty much strait forward all was labeled i just had to match it up to the parts, there was 1 worrying moment tho when i plugged all connections into the mobo, and powered on to see if it worked but there was a high pitch squeal, turns out i needed to have the gfx card plugged in also, with the gfx card pluged in i turned it on again and i got the disc boot failure so i no its working
i finshed connecting the molexs to the fans and the sata cables to the HDD and powered on and it all booted as normal
all in all it was relativity painless and quite strait forward and it saved me £40 by doing it myself, i nearly posted on OcUK for a lil help but i got there it gives me confidence now so i wont panic as much if anything like this should happen again
yeah so its fixed and i can enjoy CoD4 again now
