Grundy Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 As per all the other posts, PSU is more than likely needing switched over to a new one, i'd say 600+ for a gaming machine, I'm running 800+ I think. Have you tried switching over the 'Kettle' lead that goes to the mains? I've had a issue before where it didn't turn on, switched it with my xbox lead and worked fine. Side note, what games do you play/run - Will help understand the spec a bit of your machine (Graphics Wise) Quote

Just had a thought though - have you tried it in a different plug socket? 1 Quote
