Hi,
The PSU on my desktop seems to have stopped working. The green light on the back just blinks instead of being static.
This has happened a few times over the last couple years however I've been able to get it working again but this time I can't seem to. Also before it stopped working I would find the PC shutting itself off randomly when using the PC - perhaps a sign the PSU was going/overheating.
I guess this means I need a new PSU. Any help/advice on this issue would be great as well as whether it's possible to replace it on my own. I had been looking at these few:
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 Fixed ATX (£37)
CORSAIR CX600 Fixed ATX (£50)
CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 Fixed ATX (£48)
Evo Labs 500W (£25)
Main details of my PC:
- Compaq PSR1360
-Windows XP 32, Intel Pentium 4 540 3.20GHz
- Current PSU is a Bestac (atx 300 12z) 300W MAX
- Nvidia GeForce GT 630 Graphics Card 1GB
- 4Gb RAM
- ASUSTeK Computer inc motherboard/PufferM
