So i've had this psu for roughly a year or so and...
Recently i came home to find my computer wouldn't start. I checked it out and the temp of the CPU was roughly 90degrees or something silly like that.
I replaced the fan and started the computer up again... it took a while, kind of like when starting a cold car... start, stop, start, stop...ssstttttaaart.
And then it lasted a couple minutes and then off again.
If i leave my computer for a while and then start it up, it'll last a while, but no doubt will cut off within an hour or so.
Now it's shutting down, but before it does, vertical lines, (sort of like a gfx error) have appeard, since changing to vista.
This has been constant for the past week now, i've formatted and changed the operating system. Changed the fan, and also checked the disks/replaced them.
I've narrowed it down to either the motherboard, psu or the cpu.
Can anyone share some light onto this so i know what replacement i need to buy?
