Hi guys my year old PSU seems to be acting up. About 6 weeks ago my PC was dead when i pressed the power button. I checked the power cable looked inside checked the cabling and memory was sitting properly and hit the power button again and it returned to life. Week later same thing happened and again it returned to life after a few cabling checking etc. Problem disappeared for a while 3rd time again the same but this time twice it powered up and shut itself down after 2 secs twice.Dead again today so i need to fix it any ideas? Its a Super Flower Golden Green HX 80Plus Gold - 750 Watt. Thanks.
 
I was aware it could be a mobo problem as-well problem is can you actually tell which one it is? Don't want to spend cash on a relatively new PSU and find the issue persists.
 
quick update
pc turned on ok this morning
so i went inside case and wobbled atx connector and pc shut down
wudnt start again after that so after a few pushes in and out with the connector she started but ended up doin a bios recovery :(

new psu arrived this afternoon and fitted it
and all is fine even wobbling atx connector

so for me (so far) my psu was the problem

if pc goes down again ill post back here but ff u dont hear from me then no more problemo for me

hope u get sorted oasis :D
All good again so far but if it happens again think i'll take the plunge and get a new Psu.Thanks for the update appreciate it.
