I have a HIPRO 305W PSU P3087F3 that I think is bad. It is out of a Gateway P4 tower. The computer has been acting flaky for a while now. Sometimes it hangs at the firmware screen. Sometimes it starts to power on, but nothing comes up on the screen at all. It won't reliably come out of sleep mode.
Last night I tried to start up the computer and nothing. Unplugged power... waited a minute, plugged back in... blue light on power button up front. Green light on mobo.... other than that, nothing. Later I opened up the PSU and blew dust out of it. Checked on caps... none bulging, but of course that doesn't mean much. There are quite a few teapos in there. So I'm assuming the teapos are bad and that's why there's no start.
I'm going to check the motherboard caps... it's an Intel Augsburg board so I think the caps are probably decent.
