Random System Powerdowns

[chef4life]

Hello all!

I have a little problem in that my new system has decided to just turn itself off randomly starting these past 3 days.

It was stable for 2-3 weeks, then BLAM, this stupidness has started. I have noticed that my chassis fans 1 and 2 (I have 3 ) have stopped working around this time as well. Temps still seem to be in line 45-49C on the CPU and 30 in the case. What do you all think?

Here is the system:

Asus P5QLE MOBO
Intel q9550 Processor
Asus 4850 512MB video
2GB of Kinston DDR2 667Mhz Ram
Thermaltake Toughpower 600W PSU
2 x WD HDD (1 320 and 1 750)
DVD dual layer burner
SB Audigy Value

NOTHING is overclocked, can anyone help me out? Lead me to what MAY be happening?

Thanks in advance,

Justin

Sounds like your PSU is starting to die if your fans are also not running. Are the fans plugged straight into the PSU or the motherboard?

I believe they run to the motherboard, but don't quote me.

Is there any way I can be SURE it's the powersupply before I replace it?

P.S. Could it be ANYTHING else?

Problems like this can be caused by a number of things. We're just starting the debugging process. You can buy PSU testers for relatively cheap. You'll want to see for sure where the dead fans are plugged in. If the fans are plugged in to the motherboard and were working before, it may be the motherboard beginning to fail. A little more info will be helpful.

Looks like the PSU to me too.
