Help Computer Psu Dead? (Corsair RM 1000w)

[HeyItsChris]

So i was just playing games on my pc, and it ramdomly shuts down. After turning it on you can hear the psu making some crackling noises (like electric) and now it wont boot up, but the motherboard will have its led on button lit to green and when turning it on now it will make like 2 clicking sounds and wont boot anyhing. Doing the paper clip test on the psu it just makes to 2 clickign sounds. Is it broken?

chances are yes, do you have another power cord? i wouldn't try to fix a psu. rma as soon as you can. Corsair will know better than us.

Ive tried my power cord on my other pc and it works on it. when turning on the pc the psu will make 2 clicks and does nothing. Should i return the psu? ive been using it for like 5months

Yes, definitely. A good PSU should last years. I've heard that the RM PSU's had bad quality components.

Careful you don't short your motherboard constantly trying to turn it on.
