Ok, so I built this computer about three weeks ago. I was overclocking but my ambient temperature was going to high so I bought two giant case fans which consume a lot of power. The computer was working fine and was staying really cool. So, anyway, I plugged my usb headphones into the computer and they worked fine. But, when I unplugged the headphones, the computer instantly shut down with no warning. I tried turning it back on but, nothing. Please help!!! I have no idea what to do. :ange: :heink: :o

Have you tried resetting the cmos yet? That's where I would start.

Ok, I figured it out; it was the cord connecting the PSU to the wall. I noticed when I first got the PSU that the power cable was very stiff, but over time it got more flexible. I replaced the cord but now the new one is getting very flexible. Is there any way to prevent this?
