is that PSU from Extreme Power series? doesn't looks to be, but if it is, its the cause of the problem. check if fan is spinning, if not, you got the source of problem.

yup the psu is extreme one i suppose
time for change

Yes mine is Extreme Power Supply 460w. But I took this power supply just 4 months ago.

Fan is not turning instead its like when I press power button its like pressing power button when its totally unplugged.

got the mole. it doesn't matter 4 month or 4yrs. Cooler Master PSU are not good at all. & Extreme Power is most plagued PSU. send it for RMA. or try get an exchange from the shop you got it.

PSU is gone. They said its because of high voltage. Now it ll be replaced. Thanx to guys who took interest in the thread. Is there any prevention for such problems, So that it doesnt happen again?

 

[coderunknown]

best prevention is, get the Real Power/GX series PSU from Cooler Master (ask them to give you it & balance it if necessary). still i'll say, don't get Cooler Master. cause maybe this time you lucky. next time, your hardware may fail along with the PSU.

Change the PSU and change your brand.

Stabiliser is for outer source of power. For computer's internal parts, PSU is only option, since it converts the electricity received from your wall socket in to usable type of power for various components of your machine.

Don't panic, change the PSU to some good brand like Corsair VX450 or FSP Saga II 500 and your problem will be solved.

What is the cost of those two PSU? Can u tell me the resale value of COOLER MASTER EXTREME POWER PLUS 460w PSU.

Resale Value I dont know

at theitwares.com, FSP Saga II 500W comes at Rs. 2800 + Shipping Rs. 150 = Rs. 2950 & Corsair VX450 at Rs. 3700 + Shipping Rs. 200 = Rs. 3900

Get FSP Saga II 500W @ 2.7k locally. You're very close to B'lore (i guess so ), then go get it locally.
