Ok, so last week I finished my first build in about 2 years, and a pretty nice system too.
However, late last week, while installing Vista on my second partition, the PC shut down and wouldn't boot back up. All MB lights were on and the fans would sputter once and then nothing would happen. I assume busted PSU, take out my tester, and low and behold, the PSU wont start up. I return the busted one and get a new one. It came this morning, I tested it before putting it in, and it worked. So i plug it all in, and BAM, dead PSU. So, what could be killing it?
Here is my build:
Silverstone TJ07
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 1Kilowatt PSU
Intel Bad Axe 2
Intel QX6700
4GB Corsair Dominator
2x BFG 8800GTX
