Shuttle PSU Failure?

The Edge · 7 Oct 2009 at 08:22

Hi I have a oldish (3 years) Shuttle system, AMD athlon x2 with an Nforce chipset.

The machine will power up, but then just conks out and switches off either after windows has loaded or during the loading process. For a while it actually refused to start up at all with all the fans just spinning at full speed.

Is this a PSU on it's way out do you think or is it time for a new system?

Thanks

Thanks

Is the shuttle PSU a standard one, and do OcuK stock it?

Will any shuttle PSU be suitable?

Looked it all up and i need a PC55 which are about £100. Ouch.

It won't power up at all now, you flip the switch on the back and the light flashes on the mainboard and the then fans spin slowly. Press the power on switch and nothing happens. I'd say that's definately a duff PSU wouldn't you?

Thanks

I'll see if i can borrow an ATX unit. I don't have many spares these days.
