Emergency

Yep, as long as you're sure you had the power switch turned on (don't laugh... it's happened... :) ), and had some form of load (like a fan or two) on one of the molex plugs it's a pretty clear indication that your PSU is toast.

I think there's some unwritten rule somewhere too that says that when a PSU dies it takes out another piece of hardware with it, usually a mobo or a stick or RAM.

I too had a OCZ PSU die on me as well. Best thing to do is go to OCZ Forum - Powered by vBulletin and go to the power supply forum. You'll need to register but it's not a big deal. Start a thread and describe the problem and let them know you tried to jumpstart the psu with no sucess.

You'll need to include proof of purchase when you send it back. The people at OCZ are really nice and had no problem in dealing with this. The only problem I had involved them losing my psu.. but by having the option for someone to sign for it at their end solves that issue. This way you'll have proof that it made it there.. lol.. The whole process only took about 10 days. Which isn't too bad.

I just wanna note since it is related (note, I DO think the psu is just plain dead in this case) that I have found in my personal experance that if a computer spins up for a split second (leds, fans, etc, ) then turn back off, then something might be shorted, either theres a loose wire crossing or grounding itself somewhere.

I realise that that doenèt help the OP most likely, but I just wanted to share my experance with a few symptoms people posted earlier in the thread of similar problems :)
