So a few months ago, my comp got moved to a different room, now it doesnt work.. Turns on and turns off constantly, doesn't reach bios or anything. Everyone says it sounds like a psu issue, and leaves it at that, cause i know what that means. Have been looking for a while and cant seem to find anything obviously wrong hardware wise.. Nothing under the mb in the case to short it, connections seem solid, didnt pop the cpu out cause i dont have anymore thermal paste and didnt want to drive 30 min to get more. How can i test my psu without buying copious amounts of stupid shit to try and figure it out? Dont have a mb speaker to try and troubleshoot with beeps.

do you have access to a different psu to test with?

clearly readily available and most of my friends that might are away at college or moved out of the area

Check all hardware connections.
Reset CMOS.
Unplug hard drive and try to boot.
Reseat RAM.

move it back to the other room

No dice.. Wish it fixed that easy lol

you deleted /system32 didn't you.. -0-

update to a Windows 8 Surface RT Pro

Sounds like a bad power supply. If you think the power supply is bad, then it's probably bad. Get a new power supply, pull four screws, replace plugs, screw the new one in. They're pretty much all interchangeable as long as it can supply enough wattage, and they're clearly too expensive.

Likely to just go bad, worked in the morning, comp got moved and it didnt work in the evening. Should be less than a year old, clearly 100% sure, but its box says it has a 3 yr warranty, so i guess i'll need to break down and buy a psu tester and go from there
