My PC suddenly shut off

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.

Could be a dead power supply are there no signs of life at all like lights ?

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?
