Is my PSU dying?

    Hi,

    I have a self built PC that's being working fine for 18 months. Two days ago when I powered it on it came one for 1-2 seconds then powered down, then powered on for 1-2 seconds then powered down then powered up and booted normally (all without my interferance). When its up and running it seems to be working fine but when I am playing Modern warfare 2 the game plays really laggy even if there's no lag on my interweb connection.

    PSU = The 550w here

    I'm pretty sure its a hardware issue and I dont think its Memory/Hardrive related as the automatic powering up/down is done before anything appears on the screen.

    Oh I have no Spare PSU or Hard drive that I can swap in to test...Probably going to give it the paper clip test over the weekend to see if the fans are coming on properly. Is it worth sending the PSU back for repair/replacement, given the weight of it the postage would probably be half the cost of buying a new one...
