Hi all,
I bought ADVENT DT2412 PC 3rd Gen i7-3770 - 2tb - 16gb - GT630 2GB DDR3 Graphics around 8 months ago. It was working fine so far. Today, when I pressed the star button, I heard the CPU started for 10-15 secs and then switched off and then it again restarted repeatedly but failed to start. Can anyone please suggest what could be the problem?
Thanks and regards
Dan

I suspect they have sold you a PC with potential but lacking in quality. 16 gigs of RAM and a 2 TB hd sound great...but what brand? Google that model number and I'm afraid you will see a list of negatives about it. So I'm going to go out on a limb and say your PSU is some off brand and it has possibly crapped out on you. I'd start there if it were me. Grab another power supply(borrow one if possible) and swap it out.

As far as that graphics card, MSI is a good brand but that's not that great of a graphics card.

Hi,
I just checked power supply unit . I assume it's the power cable which goes into CPU. Please correct me if I am wrong. It's written 5 A / 250 V.
If that's faulty, can you please suggest where can I buy. Do I need to look for any particular one?
