Unplug the system then remove the CMOS battery and let it sit for about 15 minutes.
After that, put it back in and try to boot.

3 year old 400 w circle model CPH694 IT HAS A 3 YEAR WARRANTY LOL ,I slow Checked all the connection one time .

With that psu, I'd be willing to bet it's dead. Look inside and you will more then likely see ruptured/leaking capacitors. I'll leave suggestions on what you can get for your budget to replace it to others here, but I can say for sure, don't get another Circle brand psu.

Funny, I recall a thread in the past with Praj and the members warning him about garbage PSUs... I guess he bought one or used the junk he still had.

Man, you nailed it.

Praj, welcome to garbage PSU's.
Go get yourself a quality unit, our suggestions haven't changed since that thread over a year ago.

What a the hell guys I the system was given to me, and when I asked before about the psu I was thinking of upgrading to a 500 w or more and buying a new card but that didn't happened.
And of course don't fix wants not broken, cold it be a motherboard prob

EarthDog · Nov 14, 2015

We told you to fix it ll (buy a new, quality psu) because it will break. It lokely broke... or maybe caused the motherboard to break.

The only way to test it is to swap out power supply.

praj just to make a point. I read the previous thread you had where you were suggested to replace the Psu as well as this one. The reason why people here will suggest/insist on replacing a low quality Psu, is because if they go they can sometimes take out the rest of the system with it. They can also start fires and burn down more then the Pc. Even when someone is on a budget replacing a crappy Psu is a good idea. Reason being is it is a lot less expensive to replace a Psu then the whole setup, if it did take out the system when it goes. It's a good thing that yours did not damage anything else and I'm glad you replaced it with something decent.

First system I built had a crappy psu. When the 3rd replacement died, it took the board with it. (less than a year)
Lots of smoke, and popped the breaker in the house. Now I'll only buy quality ones. If the budget is tight, a quality used one works.

I look at as an investment, quality ones may last for 3 or more builds.

Especially in the case of these new EVGA units with a 10 year warranty!

I'm glad you got it fixed and upgraded to a quality PSU. I've had my Corsair 650 for over 5 years now without any issues and still runs as strong as day 1.

Yeha i agree fully with the lads here.

Icannot understand people whom use no-name brand psu's and ecpext the system work for a while..... Cheap psu's are like purchasing cheap toilet rolls..... it might be exp-ensive and very long--------but your finger still goes through!

My system is not starting and my psu is making a sucking noise
