Okay this is how the cat's case works
you push power button
there's a blue circle around the power button to show the PC's on
what it's doing is the blue circle shows up for a second and then disappears
and then a few seconds later
appear and then disappear

Yeah, I've just ordered mine tonight. It's not my main pc so it gets a puny 460w but it definitely needed a new one.

I'm sure the cat had it for a while. UNLESS THE CAT DIDN'T TELL ME HE WAS BUILDING A NEW PC

the cat had the PC for a while so yes this started to happen
the cat tested the PSU and the 12.1V is dead.

manufacturers warranty usually covers it unless it goes over the years of course, give me make and model?

You don't have to tell them the PSU fried the board and/or CPU. I'd try RMAing the board first.

Their warranties should still cover it. You'd have to wait for the return but it's still fairly recent so you'd get replacements ofc
