is my psu failing?
so I turn on my computer, and..... poof it died.
1. I checked the cable, nothing.
2. unplug and replug, nothing.
3. changing power cable, yes it works now.

but I'm kinda worried about this, is my psu dying or....? my psu is: Bitfenix Whisper 650w

Could've just been a bad power cable, so I don't think it's failing yet.

Hard to say. Keep an eye on it. Could simply be a faulty cable.

Well, Bitfenix Whisper models are decent so I doubt it's just dying for no reason. Sometimes the cables they come with are faulty, it happens because it's a cheap and mass produced standard. If the PSU was failing, the issue would persist with every cable.

Just a note, did you plug in the new cable in the same socket?

It could've been the socket that failed instead of the cable, just trying to help troubleshoot.

He's not wrong if your house is older. I've had issues with my house's electricity because it was built in the 50's, and even after replacing the fuse system with a circuit breaker system, there are still rare issues where the breaker shuts specific circuits off.

Really? Well, my house was built around 1999.

You should be fine 1999 is modern wiring.

Your problem is a weird one though, a psu cable is so basic I'd guess that either end got partially dislodged from either the wall or back of psu.
