i have a packard bell iXtreme X9610 4gb ram intel core quad processor and im running 64 bit windows (im giving all this info because i dont know what the problem is) recently when i press the on button, the light will come on for about a second and then go off when i press the button the fan also starts but stops like the light. ive put it in this psu forum because i read a similar problem online saying his psu was dying. after speaking to a family friend he said he thought a psu would just go 'boom'. also on the other forum i mentioned before, there was no reply saying what he did or if it worked any help would be greatly appreciated.
