Greetings,
I woke up to a dead computer this morning. I attempted to turn it back on, and it started for about approx. 5 seconds and then shut off. I waited a few minutes, and then attempted to start it again. It started for about 15 seconds, and then shut off again. A third attempt resulted in the computer not starting at all.
I re-checked all connections, cycled the power supply a couple of times, and tried different known working power sources to no avail. My initial assumption is that the issue lies with the power supply seeing as it won't event attempt to start (nothing turns on). As far as I know only a broken PSU could cause that problem, but I'm also not a veteran since this is only my second build.
Are my assumptions correct? Could something else be causing this problem? Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thanks.
By the way, the build is about 11 months old.
