Hi guys,
Was playing a game on the pc last night and all of a sudden heard a bit of a pop and the entire machine turned itself off and now won't start at all.
Initially I thought it was the power supply since I put an nVidia 750 Ti card in it last year to allow me to do a bit of gaming. The 750 Ti only needs a 350w PSU and has no external power connectors so draws all its power from the slot. The PSU is the lite-on 350w job that came with the machine but I figure it's getting a bit old now (bought the machine in 2011).
Thought I'd check in here though to see peoples thoughts as while plugged in, the green light on the back of the PSU is still on so I'm worried it may actually be a problem with the motherboard rather than the PSU. Any suggestions for how I could check this without just ordering a new PSU?
Thanks!
