Hey over the past week my computer has been crashing more and more often, now it is basically every 1 hr it crashes and the only way I have found to turn it back on is by unplugging the PSU from the socket. I got the PSU from my friend how had used it in his build with dual 7970 it is a XFX 750 watt modular 80+ gold. He only used it fro 6 months when he wanted to get a smaller PSU for his next build. He said it is in good condition, but I am not sure. None of the cables are torn or worn at all and it runs cool and quiet. Back to the crashes I check the windows event view and it said nothing about crashes, so I am beginning to think that the PSU is just turning off. So I flipped the switch on the back of the PSU and my PC shut down in the same manor that it had done before. I check the event log and there was nothing. Is this PSU broken?

 

 

 

 

Sorry about the log post I would just like some help.

Thanks
