PSU gone bad?

carolkarine

So I've had an OCZ 600w modstream PSU for 5 months now. I go to turn on my computer this morning, and nothing happens. So I come back to it later, and try again. Still nothing. So now I wonder if the I/O on my prodigy is bad, considering that I had the audio jack go on me last night. I know that you can check to see if your PSU's blown by sticking a paperclip into the green wire and one of the adjacent black wires on your 24pin, so I try that. the blades of my fans connected directly to my PSU spin slowly (for fans. they still blurred a tad) for a second or two then stop.

 

Has my PSU gone bad? Also, note that in order to get my PSU into my case, some wires did get bent more than normal, but the 24pin wasn't one of them, as this PSU's only semi-modular.

It sounds like a PSU problem.
