Hello,
This is my first thread in this forum.
My problem is that i had a graphics card IceQ4 HD 4870 which went dead, i changed my card and installed a new gtx 760 and my PC started restarting at random, I searched a lot about it but couldn't find anything that could help so i changed my graphic card slot and the restart problem was solved for about 3 weeks then it started again. I checked at event viewer in windows it has a kernel-power error. I continued using my PC in that state and now it is dead.
when ever i turn on my PC the power led on the chassis starts blinking (continuously) and the led on backside of my power supply turns on.
Please help me my PC config is as below

I am willing to buy a new PSU because i think it is my psu. but i am not sure about it.


cooler master real silent pro 750 w supply
dx48BT2 intel extreme series mother board
gtx 760
intel q6600 processor
corsair vengeance 4gb x2

That kernel power error can mean theres something wrong with the PSU

You cant do anything can you. Without a PSU to see if it goes

You can test if your power supply is completley dead, but testing it for max load output cant be done (at least not at a price much greater then a new psu).

If you cant test another psu in your computer, then the cheapest and easiest thing to do is buy another psu.

Well I took my PC to a local repair shop and he connected some cards in my mother board i think it was a diagnose tool or something but he didn't find any issues with the components. Then he started my PC and it just booted like nothing happened and that person couldn't find any thing that could be wrong so he gave me his number and told me to use my PC until the problem reappears. So in short my PC is fixed in 50 cents :p  that's a good news................ i thought you people would like this news :D  and thanks for the replies.
