I havent actually dignose it, I will plug another PSU from another PC to try boot the PC, but 90% sure it is PSU gone case.

This PSU is the oldest component on the PC, The PSU has been repurpose and reuse all the way back to AthlonXP era.

Spec are as follows

Q9650 (I wont OC)
gigabtye Ep41-UD3L
4GB RAM
1GB Radeon 7790
2x IDE HDD + 1 SATA HDD
3x 80mm fans

I think base on above spec 450w should be more than enough. I dont mind higher wattage but prefer to spend as little as posible on this old PC.

I am looking for the minimum amount of RM to be spent. Do you guys got any PSU to recommend? Or it is just better value to buy casing+PSU together. (the casing is quite old standard also with PSU mounted at top)

There's this: https://www.lelong.com.my/avf-extremo-acex2...9-07-Sale-P.htm

But.. I dont recommend getting it la. Dont even know how long that PSU can last you. The suggested Corsair is actually a pretty decent one for an entry level PSU. I recommend going for that instead.

so good PSU with casing combo doesnt exist lah?

I recall last time corsair or silverstone do it, now no more?

You can also find FSP Hexa+ II 500W at around the same price.

If not blown fuse, maybe it is something like just a bad component. Repair could be cheap biggrin.gif
