Can't stand the wait

My PSU is drawing its last breaths.
The Antec should be here at the end of the week, preferably before.

And now my present psu is really acting up.
It has done some of these things before.

It is riddled with bad connections.
Normally when I am performing a cold start, the thing won't start.
Then I have to short the atx connector to start up the psu.
After this the computer boots fine.
If I don't do this I can look forward to push the power button all day.
This is due to a bad connection in the atx connector.

The radeon is connected through a couple of other connectors.
That equals a bad connection.
Sometimes when I reboot I have to push the connectors together, if I do not it plays awful music when I turn it on. :eek3:

Now it has messed up my drives as well.
If I am unlucky it dumps my drive when I am in windows.
I turn the machine off and push a couple of connectors, and all is well.

Thank god I am getting rid of this thing, it is awful. :bawling:

    I just wouldn't use it. You risk damaging your other components.

    MJO,

    Have you considered setting your post as lyrics for a wailing blues song? Let's see...hmm, who've we got to accompany you on an old upright piano?

    (Hope you get your PSU soon! :cool: )

    I hadn't thought of that Leo.
    Thanks for pointing it out. :thumbsup:
    Actually it could make an interesting song. :o

    I have received my stuff now.
    What are they putting into that PSU? It is quite heavy.
    Is is lined with lead?
