Hey,

I was wondering what are some signs that a computers PSU is dying?

Thanks

Check the voltage rails. If they're way off what they should be then the PSU is on its way out.

+ or - 10% is generally acceptable.

If your 3.3V rail is at 3.37V then that's fine. If it's at 2.8V then it's time to look at getting a new power supply.
