Hi,
I built my own gaming pc recently. But the PSU didnt have enough connections so i ended up buying a nice case which had a built in 750W PSU off a guy. It worked fine for a day then blew a fuse when i tried the windows rating test. I found my old computer cable and it worked fine, playing games on ultra, running loads of things etc... for about a week (now), where it blew another fuse or so i thought. I changed the fuse but still no power, although you could hear the little crackles when you jiggle the connection in the back of the PSU, with this in mind i tried the old fuse i thought was blown and the same crackle noise. I looked up online how you test the PSU with a paper clip and that failed to work either.
Ive come to the conclusion my PSU is gone, already.
I have one question;
1. Has this done damage to any other part of my PC? How could i tell if it did?
CPU: AMD 8320
MB: ASUS M5A78Lle AM3+
GPU: Radeon HIS 6870
RAM: 4GB 1600
PSU: ACE 750w.
