I think my power supply is messed up.
While working, the power (of the pc) simply went off.
Now it won't turn on anymore. When I press the power button, all fans (except the PSU fan) turn a bit, and nothing happens.
The LED on the motherboard are still working.
How can I know it's the PSU that failed, for sure? I don't want to buy a new one just to find out the problem is somewhere else.
Speaking of PSU's, how are Thermaltake PSU's?

u can't do a better check , than replacing the psu itself.
I don't think u should do shortcuts man
if u want to be sure - go to someone with a psu that can check the pc there.

is it still working when u startup ? ( = cpu ok, drive can start = mobo ok = psu  )
...or, maybe a virus/trojan whatever which shots down system...
-though if own fan not working u need a new

i would say that the psu is shot man. mobo light and fans are provided passive power maybe through the psu, but i think trip said it right. replace the psu to know for sure. unless there is a hardware guru out there, there is no viable shortcut that i know of.
hope you get it working
