Support NeoGAF

At random intervals my computer will just shutdown. Bam. The power led on the front will flash at one second intervals, and the PC will not respond until I turn the PSU off for 5-6 seconds.

I thought it could be the shonky power at my house, and I was thinking I might need a power filter of some sort. Instead I decided to take the thing apart and give it a clean, and look what I found.

Bad photos courtesy of my phone. Looks like something is shorting, or not behaving how it should. The good news is that this should all be under warranty. What should I return though ? The PSU or the Motherboard ?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say do the safe thing, and return both. I wouldn't want to be running a mobo with a crispy ATX input.
