Seasonic PSU failed!

I think I've just had a 6 month old Seasonic S12G-450 fail on me. Windows froze up on my HTPC while restarting, held the power button for a few seconds, powered off, now won't turn on at all. Can't think what else it could be (checked fuse, power cables etc). Anyone heard tales of these newer style seasonics (with the flat ribbon type power cables) having any problem or am I just unlucky? :confused:

try the good old paper clip test if that fails then its def the PSU.

As above, remove it completely from the computer removing all cables and try the paper clip test. Ignore what I just deleted
