Computer Not starting (Kinda)

[Alexthebeast456]

Hey guys

 

 Well i don't know were to start I have been having this issue for quite a while. Some days I would come home from school, and power the PC and it will flash the LED's and the fans will spin for a split second and will shut off. Now this started wen the first outlet which was the closest one went out on me so i had to switch to another outlet which was to far from the PC so then i needed to use an extension with six outlets in a row sorry i have no idea what they call those so after i start using the extension these problems started. And kept being a problem also it was progressing as will be more and more often that this issue will occur and the only way i was able to get it back on was wait a couple of hours and try again. So i was wondering could it be the extension could it be the the wall outlet the the PSU. Thanks

You mean a surge protector ?  With the outlets ?  Have you tried any other plugs in your room ?

It's the surge protector if it started doing it when you used it. You should always have a surge protector, with a grounded outlet.

I wouldn't trust CoolMax power supplies regardless if it claims to be 80+ ... 100% sure it's your power supply. Never Cheap out on a PSU.
