Hey guys, you have all helped me many times over the last year or so, and I have never even had to post a question. But this is a sad day. So here goes.
I was browsing the interwebs tonight, when my computer suddenly died. The power and reset buttons on the case are useless, as are the same buttons on the motherboard. All 10 USB ports are getting power, and the lighting on the motherboard is working just like it would were the computer turned off. (It has a cycling glowing effect thing) Upon removing the power cord from the surge protector and directily plugging in to the wall outlet, I hit the button, and was rewarded with the fan leds activating for a split second, and then dying again. I then discovered that resetting the switch on the PSU had the same effect. It's too dark for me to do a full tear down and diagnose individual parts, and the motherboard on-board diagnostic system never has time to throw me an error. I guess I was just hoping for some advice on a place to start? I'm really worried that my PSU just gave up the ghost, but it's still in warranty. I'd just rather not deal with it. Build info is below.
Oh, the only thing that's changed recently was that I added another monitor. Not sure how this could be an issue, as it is under its own power. As another strange bit of info, my subwoofer keeps blipping at me. Whatever.
As always, all of your help and suggestions are much appreciated!
