So today I had to move my PCs around as I have the boiler behind my desk and the annual gas check was today, so I decided to save a bit of time and just move the desk out with the PC on underneath my desk and just moved it as well. Everything seemed fine
Went downstairs for 5 minutes or so, and came up and monitor shows "No Signal", tried rebooting and no luck. No beeps, no post, no signal. Tried reseating RAM, resetting CMOS, reseating gfx card. After a bit of googling, I decided to swap out PSUs to see if that was it, and what do you know it worked.
What I'm wondering is can moving a PC really cause the PSU to fail? Or is it just a coincidence?
Oh, the specs of the machine are: E8600 @ 3.3ghz | Gigabyte EP45-UD3 | 4GB GeiL PC8500 @ 1066mhz | Seagate Barracuda 320gb | Nvidia GTX260 896mb | Lian-Li PC-7 | OCZ 600W STEALTHXSTREAM
The new PSU I put in was Corsair 520w which worked. Surely the 600W OCZ could cope with that machine easily?
I think I'm about to put the old PSU in just to double check that it was that and see if it boots.
