How To Tell When A Power Supply is Failing

Dying Power Supply – Take your rest little buddy.

WorldWide Marketing Limited - EA-400W ATX switching power supply

Just a few days ago I was working on a customers machine and it exhibited the following behavior:

• Monitor not lighting up
• Fans spinning
• Power light on
• CDROM Drive check completes
• Hard drives not spinning
• When touching the tower, getting shocked by the case

Replaced the 400W supply with a Thermaltake TR2 500W Power Supply and all is well again!

Thermaltake has proven to be a reliable brand for everyday computer use.
