Troubleshoot PSU most likely dead - no power to PC

[MalwareBlockerYT]

Hi all,

Currently in the midst of major Mock GCSE exam revision. I boot my PC & after diner it has shutdown & no longer boots. I honestly don't know what caused the issue but I seriously hope that the Mobo & other components aren't damaged.

I believe the PSU is dead or the fuse has gone (I will try replacing this tomorrow) since no power is being supplied to any components - no LEDs on Mobo or Case, etc when PSU & mains is On.

I currently have a Corsair CX 750 PSU which has more than enough watts for what I need & if it is the PSU that is dead then I will purchase an EVGA 650W 80+ PSU to replace this one.

Thanks,

Always get a gold+ PSU from Corsair

Mine's a bronze PSU from Corsair but I've always read that EVGA PSUs are more reliable - so far I have owned 3 Corsair PSUs & all of them have died....

All brands make good and bad cpu. It all depends on what you buy.

EDIT: If you need help to find a psu ask or check jonnyguru

I haven't had the same experience.
Corsair has always treated me well when it comes to PSUs

Maybe you or a friend or neighbor has an old PSU lying around. That way, you could hook it up, and check if the mobo is still good.
If you are desperate, like I am sometimes when this happens, you can steal a PSU from another computer for the mean time.
