Hey yall

This is the 2nd computer I've built. THe first one is running very smoothly, no problems.

This one though, a couple days ago, it turned off on it's own and it won't turn back on. I've checked the connections to the power switch, the plug on the wall and the switch on the power supply, they're all good. What could it be? Could the cheap ass power supply be fried? (in less than a month)

I did set it to turn off if the temprature reaches 75C, but I don't think that's it, because it's not starting at all.

Thanks!
 
Take the PSU out of your working PC and plug it into the other PC. If it boots, then it is the PSU that died.

Lots of people buy cheap ass PSUs to save money, but it's one of the more important component in a PC. A PSU failure can potentially destroy other PC parts.
