[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 957124, member: 176362"] Its possible for the psu to go but still provide enough power to give indications its ok - Ive seen it many times over the years at work where we had a bunch of computers with bad caps in the psu box. At one point I had about one base a week failing.... However Ive also seen a failed transistor blow a hole through a motherboard. If you have a voltmeter see whats coming out of the drive connectors - should be 5 & 12V [/QUOTE]
