Hi,
My PSU probably died, but I was wondering if anyone here have seen similar symptoms. First of all the PSU turns on as soon as I flip the switch on the back of the PSU, previously I had to press the power button on the front of the case to turn it on. I cannot turn the PSU off using this front power button either, even if I keep it pressed for a long time.
After powering up the computer gets power (all the fans start spinning) but id does not POST, just the red LED on the front of the case and green stanby LED on MoBo start pulsating and I can hear ticking (with changing frequency) and high pitched sound coming from the power supply, it also smells funny.
All points to the PSU failure but maybe someone has any other ideas?
My rig's specs:
PSU: HIPER HPU-4K580-MS 580W ATX12V v2.2
MoBo: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium
RAM: OCZ Performance Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 2.0GHz
Video: EVGA 256-P2-N381-TX GeForce 6800XT 256MB
HDD: 2xWD 250GB SATA; 1xMaxtor 200GB PATA
DVD-RW: Sony DRU-810A-R, Samsung SHS162LBEBN with Lightscribe
WiFi: D-Link DWL-G520
TV-adapter: Hauppauge! WinTV-HVR-1800 ATSC/QAM NTSC/FM 78521 LF
