Power Issue?

and then what happens?Registered User regular
I just moved into a new home this past month and haven't been able to get my computer to start.
When I start my computer and it gets to the loading windows screen everything seems fine, then when the screen vanishes and the windows login screen should appear it just shuts down.
I kept trying and eventually I blew the power to all the outlets in half of the house. Now i'm not sure if this is because it's a power supply unit issue or the house in this particular room can't support my computer.
I have a big screen tv, surround sound, dvd player, xbox 360 and 8mm player all plugged in at a different part of the house working fine.
Should I try moving my pc to different parts of the house and testing it or just order a new psu?

That's not normal in any way, shape, or form. I imagine you have a wiring fault somewhere - either in the house involving that outlet, or the PSU itself is faulty. Move it to a new area and try again; if it works, you have a wiring fault in that outlet. If it doesn't, then replace the PSU and be wary of that outlet because it may have killed it.
