PC Swithed itself off and won't turn back on.

I had automatically assumed PSU but wanted to check first.

Green led on mobo is on.
If I switch the power off for 10 seconds, reconnect and try the power button, the PSU and 3 case fans do a tiny amount of movement, other than that, nothing.

Any ideas? Cheers all.

Almost certainly the power supply.

Test it

I think you're already on the money with PSU

Ok, that's good news as a mate is dropping a spare one off later, plus it's easy to swap! I can treat myself to a new shiny one if it works, thanks both! Appreciated.

Just make sure you remember to do the stupid stuff like the 4/8 pin connector. Last thing you need is to mis-diagnose something as well.

Hi all, PSU is swapped over and my pc is back on.

I have one issue, one of the HDMI ports on my graphics card isn't working. I run 2 monitors.

If I swap the monitor cables over in the ports, the other one comes on, so the monitors are fine. Any ideas? It's a Radeon HD6850

Edit: Or is it DVI, either way one of them isn't working.

Ah, worked it out, me being stupid.

Just want to say this forum is pretty good, I think overclockers will become my regular shop now that ****** is a bit poo.

When buying a replacement just make sure it is a quality unit
