Has anyone seen this issue before:

Custom build via Overclockers. I haven't changed anything on it for quite a while (only added SSD), purely using it for some light gaming.
It worked fine yesterday. Today it's not showing anything on the display when powering on, however it does seem to run the fans harder.
GFX card is glowing red, though to be honest my PC tower faces away from me so I never see what colour / if it glows at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this? thank you

Sooo... I managed to borrow a 1080ti gfx card to test with. Popped the card in correctly. Powered on and... POP, the ******* PSU died. So maybe this is the reason for my power on issues yesterday (not enough working juice to power up properly).

However this is the 2nd Kolink PSU that's done this to me in this PC (previous one Overclockers replaced). Last time I'm buying Kolink garbage

I'll buy a different one asap and hopefully the GFX card(s) is actually ok :rolleyes:
 
Get something gold rated with a 10 year warranty.
Good call! On a friends recommendation I went for an EVGA, and picked this one:

EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 GT, 80 Plus Gold 1300W, Fully Modular, Eco Mode with FDB Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Compact 180mm Size, Power Supply 220-GT-1300-X3 (UK)​
