Took PSU out of case, and managed to get it hooked up without extention but outside case, same thing, no power, so does that mean the new PSU is broken? Because surely if it wasn't the power supply that's broken, it'd do the same thing that the old PSU does right?

It a impossible without extention

So a while ago I my computer, under load, would crash, fans full blast, then go into a boot loop. This has been happening for a while. But a week or so ago, the computer failed to turn on at all. Usually when power gets connected it flashes a white light, and when you press on button, fans light up. This time, nothing happens but a specific light, lights up a different colour each time. I figured PSU was buggered since the computer never overheated, as I always checked the temperature of the components. So I bought a new PSU, some cables were to short (main and CPU connectors) so I bought extensions. This new PSU has no I/O switch, despite it being mentioned in manual, and when I plug no, no lights (Not even the one when it stopped working all together) no fans, and the power button on case does nothing. What am I to do? I need this computer for Uni, and I don't have much time left before I start falling behind on work.

also how would I test for that?

Built the pc myself

If I can't get the same results, would buying a gold rated PSU be the best course of action?

Hey guys, So my computer sometimes randomly shuts off, and fans go full blast. When I turn back on, the temps for all components are at regular temperatures, which I check using speedfan, because I assumed maybe something was overheating. Then I read somewhere that my PSU might be failing or something, did a stress test, and failed instantly, maybe just a coincidence because I've done it since, and it was fine.

Thank you for your quick replies! So would this build be a better PC? How would this go compared to the other one? I have never OC before, so how would that work? I am sorry for the newbie questions, I have never built a PC before.

Hello, My Name is Troy. I am wanting to build a relatively cheap Gaming PC. The price range I am looking for is around $1200 - $1600 AUD(Australian Dollar). I have got a build plan on pcpartpickers.com, and was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve or cheapen the build while still being just as good. I was also wondering how expandable the build is, so if in the future i want to expand anything, I can. I was also wondering how well it would do playing modern games.
