Hi,
So far having a crappy weekend, my computer turned off yesterday after I started smelling a slight burning smell which seemed to be coming from the PSU (an X-Power 858 PSU). So being the weekend and probably not being able to get any technical support help from any big companies, I figured I would buy a new PSU and see if that would work. I purchased a Corsair TX850W PSU as a replacement, connected it up and powered it on and all I got was the fans and lights turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. This is what is continually happening if I try to turn the computer on. Out of curiosity I even went back and reconnected the old PSU back on and it does the same thing the new one does. I need some help on what could be the issue that I'm not finding, and I really hope it is not anything more serious. Thanks. :upset: :4-dontkno
