Under no circumstance open the power supply housing. It contains lethal voltage and no user-serviceable parts.

Alrighty. Thanks for the tip. It seems like I got gipped.

What should I buy to replace that part?

As an IT professional. I mean I can't get a rosewill modular because those are all gone.
(The part was Rosewill CAPSTONE Series 450W 80 Plus Gold Certified Modular ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply CAPSTONE-450-M) And I got it from Amazon Warehouse INC

The power also turns on and off strangely when ever i plug something in as well. I assumed it was the power supply. Turns out I was right :/

From what you're saying, your old PSU wasn't putting out enough, so that should help out.


Also, I used to work in the army in what you could call IT (but you'd only be half right).... So we'd actually take this sort of gak apart for fun (under controlled environments and all that)

I will use my brothers amazon prime account to get the item in two days, because I have only a week before I leave for college. My parents have been paying for everything, but I have actually been wanting to buy it myself as I was the moron who decided to purchase a used and refurbished part. So now that I have learned never ever to buy from a used seller, I will only buy new things

My psu was just bought to, I just got it. And it worked briefly. My bios were set up and everything, now the power supply goes plewy.

Lol, there are some things that you can buy used (couches, dining tables, lamps, books, miniatures, etc) but some things you really, REALLY want to avoid buying used (computer parts, mattresses, etc) simply because you can't verify how well they were treated by previous owners.

Yeah now that I've figured that out I am slapping my face over and over again.

Additionally, I never get cheap on my PSU - I always get more wattage than I might need, and only from a reputable brand like Corsair, Antec, Enermax, Thermaltake, etc - a shoddy hard drive might fail, but a shoddy power supply might take everything plugged into it when it fails.

Took everyones advice and got a newer powerful one, and did certain things to ensure it does not come broken like the previous one, by buying a new one. From the company that sells them.

Now just to return everything.

Thanks everyone! I will comeback once the computer is rebuilt and everything.

Hey guys I am currently having trouble with two drivers.

SM Bus Controller and Teredo Tunneling Pesudo Interface.

Anyone have any tips they are currently having problems

"Trouble" is kind of a wide umbrella, as is "problems". What specifically is the issue? Is it showing yellow exclamation points in control panel?

SM Bus Controller - What kind of motherboard do you have?

Teredo Tunneling - disable it or ignore it. You don't use it.

Oh well. I just forgot to install the drivers for the motherboard. WHOOPS
