Is my PSU dying?

Thanks pal!
Think some of your posts were removed. Whatever reasons, Im not sure.

How to proceed deep search?

Im pretty ok losing whatever data inside, it is a clone from my IDE HDD.
In fact I want the data inside to be wiped out becoz I might want to try whether can RMA,
since looks like major hardware fail.
There are some confidential personal info inside. CPF and images of my IC.

If the SSD have failed, data on it is lose and there's no way to recovery unlike hard disk.
I still suggest you to get the PC repaired/fix up properly.
I do have parts for AMD Phenom II rig including DDR2 RAM, AMD Phenom CPU etc.

If you need help do let me know as these parts concurrently are in my store.

Hi Folks,

Im back here again with some trouble.

Below is spec of an old PC I'm using.

Mobo - Asus M4A78 Pro
CPU - AMD Phenom II X3 720
SSD - Kingston A400 240GB
RAM - 4GB KVR
PSU - Andyson G Plus 450W

Use onboard VGA.

Initially I have this DVD ROM, SSD, HDD...then experienced sudden system shutdown. So I remove the DVD Power connection and things were ok with SSD and HDD.
Just now, system hang....hard reset found my SSD wasn't able to identify and boot. My HDD boot.
I remove the HDD power and now PC ok with just my SSD.

Can see the PSU is pretty old....but only start using for like 7,8 months.
Previously it was in storeroom.

459Wseem little low for your configuration.

450W is low for a PC running integrated graphics now? I think he can get away with 250W no problem at all. How much wattage would you say is needed for his setup?

Yes, Convergent.

Bad news....I got in touch with Convergent.
After reviewing the label pictures I sent to them, they replied "Kingston is unable to provide the warranty claim for the units from China".
Really lose big this time....I thought Kingston is with international warranty??

i think a lot of brands split support by regions, so china is usually a separate region from more western countries. amd also.

Means I can only do the claim by visiting the Kingston RMA center in China??
Oh dear, lesson learn....
Lucky I just bought small 240GB and nothing bigger.

The AMD Phenom II X3 720 cpu itself is already 95w.

Is always agent warranty. Not international.

Uhuh, and that's the component that consumes the most power in a IGP system. A motherboard, one stick of RAM, cooler, one SSD and case won't need 355W. I have doubts they'd even need 100W.

Other components on board eg, south bridge, sound, USB, CD drive, ram. Plus discount on power efficiency (depending of power supply brand). Is going to be marginal.
