I just went to fire up my system and there was no response. I checked the power cord connected to the PS, it was a little loose, so I got it seated correctly and then pressed the on button...Then I hear a loud POP (kind of like a cap gun) from the back of the system. I assume this it was the power supply. I checked my mobo, video cards, and sound card for blown capacitors or anything charred. Things look ok in those departments. The PS is an Antec Tru Power 2.0 SLI 550w that I picked up from the now defunct Monarch Computer Company last March. The outlet I was using for the PS was on a pretty pricey surge protector also. Nothing else on the surge protector was blown.
So my question is could this be more than a PS supply? What else should I check before I start ordering a new PS? Should I be worried if anything else on the PC is toast?
I was running the PS on Asus A8N SLI Deluxe, 2 7900 GT KOs in SLI, 4800X2 oced at 2.7gigs for well over a year without a problem. Do I have any chance at an RMA with Antec?
Thanks for any advice.
