Hi
Something very bad appears to have happened to my pc and I would appreciate some advice.
My PSU made a light crackle last time I flicked the switch. Didn't think too much about it but just now I went to turn the pc on and the psu just cracked for a few seconds until I turned it off.
I have a i5- 2500K, some sort of MSI motherboard, GTX970, and nothing unusual attached. The power supply is OCZ StealthXStream2 600W which should be powerful enough according to everything I have read and online calculators. So I assume the thing just has a fault and needs replacing.
So my question is, before I order a new PSU and replace the old one; what else might I need to consider, if anything?
Does anyone have experience of OCZ PSUs? Should I try a different make?
Any general advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
