My issue involves my computer system not booting up. I have taken it to a computer store and I was reassured that my PSU is working fine. The problem was apparently with my RAM. The person removed the faulty ram stick and my system was working fine. Today, my system once again will not boot up. And when it did, the minute I opened Google chrome it froze up. Please can someone help me? I'm running an i5 2500k foxconn h61d-mv xfx Radeon HD6950 and a TX 750W PSU. My system will not boot and then 10 seconds later will shut off and restart but still won't boot.

Open the side panel of your PC, when you power it on if the PSU fan, CPU fan, GPU fan, any other fan is working (spinning), then it's 99% RAM. If let's say your fans aren't working and some of your LEDs are kinda blinking very fast then it's 99% PSU.

I ordered new RAM yesterday, Should have it by Saturday or next week Monday.
I have a feeling it could be the PSU but unfortunately I do not have another PSU available to test.
I got the motherboard last year July. Could it already be giving up ?
