Yo guys. Earlier tonight I was making a video for your viewing pleasure of some of my latest updates to the TT Del when I went to adjust the volume on the speaker and while getting back off my bed (the speaker is behind it) my foot hit the top of my computer case and a few seconds later it shut off. My computer sits on the floor next to my table so it's really low. I believe it's the PSU because it's a cheap one and I think I might've popped one of the capacitors because the comp powers on but doesn't fully make it into windows. I get a BIOS beep and it even prompts me for my password but then just dies. This leads me to believe it's the PSU. This is my current desktop build: Intel Core2 Quad Q9300 2.5 GHz / 6M / 1333 MHz INTEL STANDARD PROCESSOR COOLING FAN Foxconn G41MXE-V LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB CACHE SATA 3.0Gb/s 22X DUAL LAYER DVD-RW W/LIGHTSCRIBE Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 GDDR5 2DVI/Mini HDMI PCI-Express video REALTEK 6-CHANNEL DIGITAL SOUND ONBOARD REALTEK 10/100/1000 Gigabit Network Card (onboard) BCC VOYAGER MID-TOWER ATX (2X) 120mm HIGH-PERFORMANCE CASE FANS hec X ORION 585 WATT POWER SUPPLY I have heard these PSU's are very cheap and fail easily. I have just ordered this one. It's one I've had my eye on for awhile. Like I said I guess there's no way to be sure it's my PSU but I'm 99% sure. If I put that Supernova in and it's still shuts off I'll be very surprised. What do you guys think? I'm not going to try turning it on again till I replace it.
