Strange problem with my power supply
Last response: in Components
My old 750w PSU stopped working 2 months ago. I thought it overheated and waited a whole day before switching it back on again, but the computer didn't boot. So I replaced it with a 820w which died last night. The weird thing is: when I plugged in my old 750w, it worked. what do you think might have caused it to stop working 2 months ago? how did it come back to life?

and when you reinstalled it the connections were seated tightly.

I tested the old psu on another computer back then and it didn't work, so I doubt it was the connection. I have a feeling it's the same issue that caused my 820W to stop workingi agree, that is prob the situation. I don't know what the real problem is.
it could be a short on the mobo or something different.
I suggest you close this thread and try posting this again
with slightly different title & hope some of the
system experts see it and advise.
