Hello,
I have an Alienware Area 51 Desktop (1 year old) with a Core i7 950, dual GTX 260s, and 12 GB DDR3 RAM. Today when I went to turn on my computer, as soon as I hit the power button, it flashed on and off again. And it continued to do so multiple times. So I unplugged it and plugged back in again, and alas, it did the same thing. I noticed that on the back of the PSU there was a small button, and if I hold it down, the computer seems to power up, but there is no power to my keyboard and my monitor doesnt gate any signal. When I opened up my computer, I saw that the PSU is some strange Alienware type with the strangest interface I've ever seen, and its rated to output 750 Watts. The motherboard is manufarcured by Asus, so I'm less concerned that it's at fault.
What do you think the issue is and what do you think I should do?
Thanks!
