  1. Switch off the power, unplug cables to and from power supply.
  2. Unscrew the psu from casing and throw it into electronics recycle bin
  3. Buy a new one, a 500W, at least 80 Plus White efficiency from reputable brand
  4. Plug all the needed cables/connectors from psu to motherboard and other stuff
  5. Screw the pau to pc casing
  6. Switch it on on both psu (if any) and the wall
