1000+ Head-Fier
I just built a nice mid-end gaming PC with a i7 chip, 6gb RAM and and ati4870. Everything was working beautiful for the last day. Even got CoD5: world at war installed and working beautifully on vista 64bit. I went to turn it on about an hour ago and the power button did nothing.
I have tore out the insides and rechecked and reconnected everything power related. I'm using a big full Ultra case with a Ultra 650watt PSU. No small lights on the mobo even come on. To me this points directly to a PSU problem but before I remove the PSU and send it back, I wanted to run it past the members here: Am I missing something simple?? Parts are most likely to stop working in the first couple of days. After that they will normally make it into the hundreds of thousands of hours until failure. Do I have a bad PSU?
