Just setup a new system last night consisting of an e6300, gigabyte ds3, x1900xt, 2gb patriot ddr2, wd raptor 74gb sata, wd 320gb sata, nec 3550a and a regular lite on dvd rom. clocked it up to 3.15ghz and was running 2 instances of prime 95 for 2 hours and went to bed while i let it run. i wake up and the computer is off. switch an antec true power II 550 watt and it boots fine so i try the s12 again and nothing. did i just get unlucky with it dying because i had to rma an s12 before for comatibility issues with a dfi nf4 motherboard.

I assume you have the 500W S12?
 
Sounds like bad luck, as I've heard no bad about Seasonics. They are reasuringly expensive...

Yea, that PSU has plenty of power. Sounds like you got a lemon, RMA it. (and be glad it didn't take any of your parts down with it)
 
it is an A2 but what i was hearing last night was some high pitched whining fizzing sound which i thought was my motherboard but i'm going to assume it was my power supply dying.

Don't take this the wrong way but i'm not sure I would leave my computer running overnight while I sleep with a whining fizzing noise.
