Help Comp Just died

[MTXR]

So i am surfing the web and all of a sudden my computer shuts down. I try turning on the computer, and it doesn't have any signs of life.

So i check if my mobo light is on, and its not, now i am afraid.

Either my PC-DL is fried or my PSU. When a PSU dies does it just shut off randomly or does it display other signs before it goes?

I have no PSU that i can try right now so my workstation is down.

I am afriad though that the PC-DL is fried cause its been over voltated to 1.5 for awhile to OC my prestonias.

Do boards fail more than PSUs?

First thing I would do is make sure the outlet is still live. You may have just popped a breaker.

I would think that it would be your PS that has failed. I've never overvolted my MoBo but I would think you would have experienced some instability or pecular errors for a little bit leading up to the failure if that was the issue.

Pull the PS from the case and (with the PSU unplugged) short the green wire to any of the black wires. That will turn on the PSU, plug it back in and wait to see if the internal fan spins up. My guess is that sucker is completely dead and will remain so even out of the box. If it does come to life, that doesn't necessarily mean that the PSU is ok, it could still be severely damaged and unable to provide the necessary voltage to power your system.

thats what i am thinking too.

Btw, here are my system specs just in case.

2 x 1.6GHZ LV Xeon @ 3.0GHZ @ 1.5V
Asus PC-DL Deluxe
2gigs Kingston ECC
9800 Pro 128
74GB Raptor
200GB Seagate 7200.7
40GB 7200.7
DVD-Rom
NEC 3250a
Tagan 480W PSU.



Only thing i can think of really is what you said, the PSU is gone. Cause i wasn't receiving any errors or anything finicky ever. Only thing is the comp just totally shut down.

I will do as suggested to test it out.

Problem is fixed.

Turns out the power strip died. Replaced and good to go, thanks for the help though.
