[GeneralBear]

Sounds like the power supply could be going out, too much load and it starts to whine trying to output power. Any other PSU you can try to use on it?

I remember people on NCIX trying to help me do this but I ended up being too afraid to deal with it and have never used my multimeter. LOL

When you look for reliable look to Antec and Seasonic. I don't know why I hear so many people buying Corsair lately?

i like them flat cables they have mainly and seasonic makes corsair psus i thought their just rebrands

[GeneralBear]

plus the company i get my parts threw memoryexpress.com dosent have seasonic. i like them because its only a 2 hour drive to their store or 8.99 faltrate shipping and their warentie is great (forgot to get their extra warentee for my psu)

[peaking duck]

have a new one nearby..

about the 3 year mark they coincidently show symptoms of age in my IT Service experience.

 

the last thing you want is to have it exploded while your PC is left on with no one home.

For a 45$ psu? No.. Just get a quality psu this time like seasonic, no cheap ones

@GeneralBear 

 

It'll probably cost you like 20$ to ship it back to them anyways, you're probably better off buying a new one.

[peaking duck]

yeah buy a new one.. the logistical cost is not worth it

dont risk it with dodgy electrical goods
