Seasonic 600W PSU Failure/Problem

TaKeN · 12 Apr 2006 at 19:37

Right, my mate has had his pc working fine for weeks now,

Last night he tried to turn on his pc and there was a small click and nothing happened,

Ive come over to his house tonight and pulled every power cable off the motherboard, then i plugged in the two main power plugs to the motherboard the power switch is connected, and when you press the power buttons, the fans spin for a split second and there is a nasty sounding electrical arc/click.

It seems to me that the psu is dead has any one else had a similar problem, or do you think the psu needs warrantying ?

Many thanks TaKeN

BTW : Mobo is Asus A8N 32 SLi Delux ? | PSU Is Seasonic 600W

I will explain throughtly'ISH cause i was in a hurry last night

My friend buys his bits, and builds his pc, he puts in a 7900 GTX and it works fine for a month, then all of a sudden he turns his pc on one day and gets No signal output from the monitor, He assumes dead gfx, so he puts my old x800 xl in and it does the same. So yesterday he took the mobo back to overclockers under waranty, instead of waiting two weeks for a replacement, he bought a new A8N and is going to sell the replacement.

My guess is , PSU Broke and killed the mobo at the same time.
