Here's what happened: yesterday I turned off the PC, it was working fine.
10 hours later, I turn on the multi-plug adapter and then click the button on the PC: circuit breaker goes off after the power light goes on for a fraction of second.
I turn the lever back on and try again, this time I just connect it without clicking the power button, and the thing goes to off again.
So I connect the PC directly to the wall, this time the breaker isn't set off. I try again with the adapter, it isn't set off either. But the PC is completely dead, clicking the power button does nothing.
Is it the PSU?
Could the motherboard be damaged?
I don't have a tester or other PSUs around. Everything is out of warranty.
