My PC suddenly shut off

Jasker · 15 Oct 2022 at 20:19

I was in the middle of using my PC when it suddenly shut off, there was no warning or indication of overheating, I changed plugs and that did not do anything, I've only had it for about 8 months, its a pre built. It doesn't switch back on.

Nope, no lights, nothing, it's not the power cable either since I changed the fuses and plug themselves and nothing, I know it's definitely the power box since I plugged it into sockets I know are working, so I'll probably have to send it in to be repaired since I don't want to open it and void the warranty.

Sometimes corners are cut to keep prices low and things like this happen, get it replaced with something a little more reliable.

I'll give them a call on Monday to see what I can do, do you recommend any brands?

No problem

Classic Power is a Kolink PSU. Almost all pre-built pc's are using Kolink and many people seem to be having issues with them. I have had 3 customers over the last 3 months with dead Kolink PSU's. Kolink are entry-low tier at best. As peahead has already mentioned Corsair, Seasonic, and bequiet are good psu's. Evga and thermaltake are also good brands for psu.

Did you get it sorted ?

Just for the record, all those brands also make (or have made) junk, don't just buy the cheapest one on the shelf.
