This isn't a thread asking for support but to let the folks know of whats just happened to me and how i fixed it:
Wednesday: My hard drive began to make strange noises, on screen the user environment began to freeze and restart, granted this happened maybe 2 to 4 times a day.
Friday: Noises from my hard drive became worse and sounded like it was on its last legs. I turned my PC off to give it a rest, as i returned, the Machine wouldn't even turn on, no power going through it at all.
Saturday: Myself and a technician ran multiple checks and had a few idea's of what the problems were, but we couldn't do anything until the nextday to get parts.
Sunday: The first item on the list, a new PSU, the PSU was fitted, we now had power, but no Bootup, no BIOS, another trip out, a new motherboard, installed it, and yes the machine was back to its previous state!
Conclusion to the story: The PSU was deing, which caused it to lack power to the Hard drive which made it sound wrecked, as the PSU finally died it surged through the motherboard and fried it. In the end the problem i thought it was, wasn't a problem at all, it worked fine.
Really not sure what the point was there, it was a nice story
The stupid PSU going caused me damage worth £120+ I int a appy person.
