Hey, I put in a new 1200 watt psu the other day and it worked great. For about an hour. Then when I booted it another time it started turning things on and then there was this sound and it all stopped. That psu is garbage now. With the old psu the computer starts to boot but it restarts before it turns on... as if something is failing. Not sure what got fried. I was thinking the motherboard? Or could it be the cpu?
That is way to high for a Power supply..If that was its true wattage then you probably fried the mother board.
Boy...I really don't know what to say...You may well have fried more than one thing...or at least damaged other components. You might be better off starting over from scratch. The power supply unit in today's modern computer assumes a role probably more critical than any other single component in your system. A poor PSU can also cause other components to fail in your computer. The right Brand names = Quality Some approved Brand names follow... Seasonic - any model Corsair - any model Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only PC Power & Cooling - any model Silverstone - any model Unless you are into some serious gaming a 600 watt or higher will take care of your needs. If you are a serious gamer a 750 Watt, or a little higher will be all that you would need.
Yes it was a Thermaltake toughpower w0133ru. It was supposedly a very nice PSU. I guess I got a dud? I RMA'd my motherboard and the PSU. Hopefully everything will be fine when I get the new parts in.
