Either someone is wrong with my power supply or the poor wiring in this worthless trailer is responsible for my misery. My computer has turned off by itself over 30 times today. Nothing else is effected, only the computer itself.

Worthless piece of garbages

I just chedked my PSU fan. It isn't moving. It acts like it wants to move (it makes little tiny movements in one direction then goes back again)

Don't know if its stuck or what. I dusted it out earlier with compressed air.

Fuck what am i gonna do :cry:

Yay! Using a spare cue tip, I coaxed the thing into running. Thanks Dalton!

Could a mod please move or merge the off topic posts?

I would suggest replacing that fan soon, it looks like it's going to die. Most PSUs use an 80mm fan - what I did was power down the PSU for a few hours, snipped the cable leading to the onboard fan and then mounted a new 80mm in it (a quiet Panaflo L1A). I then carefully routed the wire through a ventilation hole and plugged it into one of the four-pin power connectors.
