PSU: cheap s***y generic £12($21) 500W
has the following problem that it just keeps shutting off now ive watched my cpu and system temps b4 this and they seem to be fine cpu around 65 system about 40 but i reckon my psu is frying it only has one fan exhaust and very small area for intake and its probably full of dust i would open it but i cant (pinned shut)
do you think i am correct in my conclusion that this is the psu?
