3 weeks back my PC started to act up; shutting down randomly, not powering up, all that type of thing. In the brief times it would stay up no messages in the event viewer to help me.
I decided it had to be the power supply, bought a new one and had yet to install it.
Today decided that this would be a good time to get the job done.
As I started to unplug the cables (fully modular supply) I noticed one cable seemed loose. Reseated it and tried the PC.... Woot it worked.
So I started on all the updates I'd missed. Finally went to run a backup and saw an error message that the XML definition file was invalid... discovered my D drive missing.
Shut down, opened case again and saw I'd not connected one power cable.
Fixed that and now back in business.
Ran my monthly full backup, caught up on some tv series I'd missed and all is good.
Now I have an extra power supply waiting for the next build.
