Ok so there was a powercut in my house,killed my 750 Watt psu.So I went and got a new one,put in it the case.Turned on my pc again and was on it about 4 hours when boom the PSU blow but this time not because of a powercut,just blow again...100 euro down the drain....

Would it be the socket or what? This is really annoying

It could be the socket. Depending on where you live it could be dirty power. Or you are buying junk PSUs. (50 euros each, probably not likely but possible. I'm not sure what a quality 750W PSU would cost over there.) Try a different socket, have an electrician look at the place, tell us what PSUs are you using.

Ok so it turns out it was the socket,so the 2nd PSU (Silverstone) still works on a different socket in another room.But now the Motherboard isn't getting all 3 LEDs its only getting one and im getting just black screen...Any ideas? Was working fine for a few hours with the new PSU until it blew.

I havn't tested it yet but im pretty sure the first PSU 750 Antec is probley fine.

According to the manual 1 LED Means that the CPU is in 1 phase power mode.
It's not flashing,just one LED on when there should be 3.The manual doesn't say much either
