Hidden in plain sight
So it has come to my attention awhile ago that my PSU being as old as it is was probably gonna crap out at some point. Perhaps its day has finally come.
So i was using my PC earlier today, and then i left it at around 3PM (sleep mode and all). When i returned to use it just a few minutes ago nothing was happening. tapping a keyboard key usually wakes it up. Nothing. Power button would wake it up if keyboard didnt do anything....but also nothing. Very wierd. My motherboard is still being lit up with its pulsating "heartbeat" yellow lights so it is getting some power. Tried just unplugging and replugging the PSU cable and even flicking the on/off psu power switch and the only thing that would happen is either nothing or things would START to spin up (my case fans spins and the fan lights blue) but almost immediately shut down again.
So im gonna leave everything switched off overnight and see what happens when i turn things on again tomorrow. If the same nothing happens is it a dead PSU? There wasnt really any signs or symptoms that would indicate something was up. And i guess i should be happy that it decided to crap out when i was doing nothing of importance, as opposed to being in the middle of something.
(Im currently using my slowass laptop for my internets right now)
