Psu died finally

Tweakforce_LG · May 23, 2015

Ok so after noticing an intermittent power supply problem a week ago, i left it off for the whole week then today i decided to turn the pc on to recover a file, i notice the mouse led's (car mouse) where lighting up but not the sensor. I restarted the pc and it didn't display post. So i unplugged the hdd and dvd drive to to reduce psu load and when i turned it on the fans spun for 1 second, mobo led lit up, front pc lights lit up, psu fan spun up. After a second it turned off. No fireworks, no explosion, just turned off like if i knocked the plug or something. Haven't powers it on since to test as I'm waiting to test with a mates PSU.

Here are the specs (old thing but all i have got):

Core 2 duo overclocked 3.6ghz, no over volt (stock voltage)

Radeon 5670 discrete card HIS

4gb corsair xmx ddr2

Asus p5kl-c/1600 mobo

Huntuky (pice of crap) 500w psu

Cooler master elite 331 case

Anyway, since it turned off without a burning smell or smoke, just like if I'd have knocked the plug out, whats the odds of it damaging the other parts. Hard question but im worried as f$$#%& as its the only pc i have. Im not very wealthy

Worked my a$$ off for this pc

Im typing on a droid right now

Thanks for the advice

Trying your friends PSU is the best option. If its lets watts you can just check the MB without the vid card IF MB has onboard graphics. I hate that sick feeling in my stomach when your hoping its the really cheap part and not the expensive parts that went bad.
