My trusty 7 year old rig is blinking on and off when I press power button. I'm thinking dead PSU? Funny the Seasonic 660W had a 7 year warranty lol.

 

I am on North Shore and need to find the fastest repairer there is, would Playtech be the best bet?

 

Timing of everything is a freaken nightmare with my new rig coming next week / should've been months ago but 2021 yay.

If it isn't the PS...then most likely the MB.

If a light is blinking on, its getting some power. Remove the power switch from the mobo, and jump it and see if it comes to life. If it does, just a dodgy switch.

 

If still no go, go back to basics, so unplug drives, extra cards etc and see what happens.

I unplugged all cables & it stayed on, now its working normally. I hadn't noticed the casing had come off the HDMI cable and the exposed wires were caked with dust, could have something to do with it? Getting a new one and backing up everything lol.
