I build my first rig in april using TacoTime's excellent guide
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163306.0 which I followed to the letter.
It worked great, until yesterday.
It had shut off, with a faint smell of burned plastic ( uh oh ). I inspected in for molten power connectors, but didn't see any. The risers also look fine. I checked the wall plug, it still has juice. The first time I hit the power button on the mobo, it lit up for a second and then refused to light up again.
Since the system isn't even considering booting up, and I see no damage to cables or the motherboard, I fear the PSU itself has given up the ghost.
Can you guys find any faults with this logic ? Did I miss a step ?
Also : how can I check the PSU for problems ?
Please try not to kill me by suggesting anything dangerous, lol.
