I was setting up my computer today after i got home from college. I went to go plug the power cord into the back of the power supply and when i did i heard a faint buzzing noise. Not really sure if that was the power supply or not, but after that my computer would not turn on. No lights lit up or anything. I turned the switch on and off, unplugged the cord, plugged it back in, tried different outlets, nothing. I thought maybe the power cord could have been bad, so i plugged it into an older computer but it worked. So i am thinking that my power supply is dead. Nothing turns on or lights up, so im thinking its the power supply. I have a Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 ATX12V 500W and have only had it for about 8 months. So does this look like a dead power supply? thanks.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Dead Power Supply?

Sounds very likely that you have a dead PSU. I recommend that you contact Antec customer support at: http://www.antec.com/newticket.html
Since it is only 8 months old you can get a warranty replacement if you still have your receipt.
