Yesterday I repaired two fans for fitting into my rig. I just fitted them all back for a more efficient configuration but I thumped the outer case a few times to get it to fit back together. Now when I turn on the computer it sounds like the power supply is tripping on me. It starts up for 2-3 seconds then dies and repeats. Have I trashed the PSU ? It's an old Antec earthwatts , model ea-650w

Also recheck those fan wires. All it takes is 1 thread of a wire to bork up the works and make the PSU go into save me mode.

Hi guys, yes it was shorting with the audio cable going into the case. Strange though that when I was troubleshooting and removed just about everything I could think of, it still didnt boot with that cable removed. Anyway, everything is fitted back now snuggly and its booting
