What to do...

I have a 550 Ultra

So would I...I have a decent GFX Card at the moment. I purchased my PC back when I was younger and harder to please. I wanted the best of everything. Now I am older, I know my limits. I will probably be getting a new rig soon, this current rig feels too showy.

I dunno man, as far as I know that only goes for shoes. And I wear freaking huge shoes. I'm a Shoe Ninja. Just walking around, my shoes ... are shoes.

Why are all specs comparable to gaming? It's a freelance forum, not a gaming one.

- Sahil.

Unfortunately this has become a reality. I didn't turn it off since my last post and the bloody electrician decided to turn off the power without notice. Low and behold, it actually didn't turn back on for the last two days. I have been sitting there trying to get it to work. I am forced to use the family computer which is driving the mother and sisters crazy (my sisters seem to think MySpace is more important than business)

It is demanding power when I switch it on because it has fused the lights a couple of times, everything appears to be connected and I can hear little noise coming from the PSU, but it just doesn't start up. Anyone got some ideas?


Thanks,

Seb

I don't know if it's an option for you or not but PSU's are really cheap nowadays, might be worthwhile just buying a new one?

edit: sorry I've just realized you said in your first post you were going to get a new one when you could.

I was hoping on buying a new computer at some point. Wanted to get it altogether. I have spare PSUs about, just don't really want to mess with it as it's all so tidy.
