Do I Need a New PSU???

[Digitalcaveman]

All,

My system is over 4 years old now and my specs are in my sig below. I have the BFG 1000W PSU and noticed when I am going into standby, it does it but when I come out of it I have to turn the computer on with the switch instead of just hitting the spacebar. Just yesterday, I turn the power on then off - the mobo doesn't start up. I have to unplug the PSU then plug back in. Now just 5 min ago, I go through that again turn the main PSU switch on and hit the on button and only the fans spin slightly then go off.

I'm wondering if this thing is done for....

If you believe that your PSU is the problem, then you'll need to test things out with another PSU.

Fortunately, a good 750 to 850 watt PSU with at least 60A of power in its 12V rails and 80 Plus Bronze or Silver certification can handle the parts in your sig.

Yeah I think the other one I have is only 500W so probably won't work. I'm almost 100 percent sure its the PSU because of the degredation, either that or the mobo and since I'm planning on a new gaming rig build, think it might be time to pull the trigger. Thanks.
