hi This morning when i switched the pc on it started to open and then just as it reached the stage of loading you settings it froze and i had to switch off and when i restart nothing happens i have tried this a few times. This happened in may and i changed the power supply and it has been working ok.Is this power supply problem again? Last one was a new one. Is there any way to check power supply? and help advise will be appreciated. Thanking in advance

computer make is "spire" which had hec atx power supply which got faulty last may and i replaced this with IDENTICAL atx power supply hec-300AR-PTF. Since may the pc has been working ok. Until this morning.
 
thank you Wanlag for very useful information. For the benefit of somebody else having similar problem. On my PSU i had to check with multimeter pin 9 which was purple colour and this should have 5 vdc out. (You need to check with ac power on to psu on)
thanks all for help
 
Probably get replacement psu on warranty.....a little worrying if this one has gone this quickly. Is it a sealed unit ? if not does it have an internal fuse ?
 
No this is not a sealed unit! yes there is a fuse inside. have sent it back under warranty. Thanks for ur help.

Presuming you checked the fuse first as that wont be covered under the warranty
 
yes i did check the fuse. Thanks for the thought.
