Hi all. Recently, my PC was immediately shut down while playing somewhat graphic intensive game during a 100 degree day. Afterwards, it wouldn't start back up again. I didn't notice any warning prior to the shutdown. I've cleaned it out and let it cool down, but I still don't get a response from trying to start it up. there are no lights or beeping sounds when trying to start the cup, it just seems dead.

My processor is a AMD FX-4100 CPU, with a ASUS M5A97 -- AMD 970 motherboard.VGA SAPPHIRE 7870 graphics card. Let me know if any other info is necessary.

Think something fried? I'm not sure what I would need to replace if something is wrong, I can't say I know much about hardware.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Never heard of Coonix before, but if I had to guess I'd say it died. And sorry to tell you, but that isn't a 600W PSU. It's only 430W. It has 36A on the +12V rail (assuming they didn't lie about that on their specs sheet too) which only comes out to 432W total. Looking at the platform, it's nearly non-existent, I don't even see proper X and Y filtering in it. It also has passive PFC, which you can see by the fact it has a voltage selector switch. So all in all...

You have a power supply which is absolutely as cheap as it gets. Hopefully it didn't take any of your parts with it.
