I recently got a phonecall from my brother saying that he's messed up his computer in some way or another but the problem is that when his computer is turned on it only stays on for a certain period of time then the power just cuts out. He mentioned something about hearing a "pop" sound so i was thinking it was someting to do with the PSU and static but hes not the sorta guy that would open his computer case to let static in anyway... He says it happens every couple of days or so and he doesnt want to give it to a computer shop to repair because "they are the new car mechanics"... you know... charging for a new motherboard, gfx card and PSU when they only needed to fix the PSU or something... so any ideas?
