Power Supply

EpicCarnage · 24 Aug 2011 at 14:26

Was having a row with the mrs telling her to get off my comp, well I kicked the power supply lead causing the pc to turn off and not work since. It does power however it seems to no boot.

Could the power supply still be faulty, one other crucial factor is the back fan which is connected to the mother does not turn on, however the cpu fan does.

Any help is appreciated

Heres my help.

Be kind to your mrs and don't break your computer.
You might have broke the Kettle Lead.

Give every single cable and connector a wiggle, perhaps something has dislodged.

Is there anyway to differentiate what is working, and not. Can a PSU still be power and be faulty?

What is a easy way to test CPU aswell except another rig setup?

PSU can still power on and be faulty, only real way to test is try another PSU and the same can be said for the CPU.
