Hi guys,
My PC worked fine last night and for 4 weeks since I got my new graphics card. Just yesterday I did an update on Vista Ultimate x64. Watched some movies. Played Far Cry 2 then switched PC off. Today I switch it on and it doesn't boot. In fact it continuously keeps resetting. The 3 out of 4 LEDs on the GFX card keeps flashing. I remove the GFX card and it still does the same thing. So I know that this is not an under power issue. I look at the DVD-Writer and the LED keeps flashing also on reset. HDD light stays on. An ideas? Maybe the PSU is screwed as it is trying to load balance? Specs of my PC in my signature. Any help in this regard would really be appreciated.
 
sound like the most likely problem yes. Coolermaster PSU's have a 2 year warranty, so take it back to where you bought it.
 
Yeah, probably the PSU - try unplugging any hardware you don't need and see if it helps - it may be one of the rails that's knackered. If still within the 2-year warranty, swop it out...
