Seb is on a distinguished road

  Old  What to do...

I am in a slight dilemma...a few weeks (months?) ago my PC packed in. It's a fairly strong build with a PSU that is way too big (the source of my problems). So big in fact it has fused the electricity in my house a couple of times

Anyway, a few weeks ago (months?) my computer wouldn't turn back on, after trying for a week, it finally turned on, and in fear it would do the same...I have not turned it off...only restarted and turn off and QUICKLY on again. I will be getting a new PSU asap, but should I risk turning it off? I want to save the planet...! Is it possibly anything different that the PSU?

Ideas?

Well, how about the next 10 times you go pee, you leave the light off? Save the planet and your PSU, you just won't be able to wear socks in the bathroom!

Haha, my aim is like a ninja in the darkness. FYI - I do turn the light off when I leave a room

My favourite is when you stand up which each foot on either side of the toilet

and wait.

Let's move towards on-topicness.

You aren't saving that much power, but I'm a big advocate of doing what you can, if everyone did, the world would be better... that being said, I left my PC and server rack running while I was gone to the lake, oops.

A new powersupply is cheap, buy one and give the old rig a bit of down time... if it poops, the new supply is on its way!
