What are some signs of a failing power supply?

Bishop_616@reddit

I believe I am experiencing a failing PSU currently. Much troubleshooting has been done to come to this opinion. Most was just upward failing. My issue began when my Ryzen 7 2700x overheated using a Thermaltake AOI PCU/RAM cooler. Upon the first instance of overheating I replaced the liquid cooler with my trusted Cooler Master Evo 212 I had used for the past decade with amazing resolve. Liquid cooling was an experiment that warranted no better performance than the EVO did. Very soon after I began to get random crashes when my computer was under heavy load of gaming. These hard crashes became more regular and almost predictable after 10-15 minutes of gameplay, regardless of game or graphic settings. Thus the troubleshooting begins. Wondering if the issue was a fairly new Crucible M2 drive I was running the OS on, I installed windows to another drive (SSD), updated windows and the drivers, and experienced the same, predictable crash. I then swapped my RTX3060 for a RX5700XT, same predictable crash. I then tested 2 brands of RAM, 4- 8gb G.SKillz Trident 3200mhz, and 4- 8gb Thermaltake RC 4000mhz, each tested individually in two separate sockets, each experiencing the same, predictable crash. Ruling out the RAM's and GPU's I replaced the CPU, upgrading to a Ryzen 9 5900x. After install I experienced the same, predictable crash. Ruling out the CPU I then took what I thought the logical next step and replaced the Mobo. This pissed me off for had I known this was going to be the outcome I would have upgraded to the AMD5 socket instead of sticking with the AMD4. But here I am. So this very morning the Mobo shows up, I begin installation of the hardware, flash bios to most recent, wipe all drives and start with a fresh install of the OS. Updated all drivers, yada yada, normal fresh build stuff. Proceed to test the computer under load of a game and I get the same predictable crash. Quite literally the only untested variable left of my computer is the PSU. I do not have a second adequate enough to test with. But I speculate that after the 10-15 minutes of gameplay the PSU is overheating and shutting down. In many years of custom built gaming computers I have never had a PSU fail. Infact the GS700 I put in this computer 10 years, 4 processors, 5 sets of RAM, and countless harddrives and GPU's ago has been the workhorse all along. Hine sight suggests I should have suspected the PSU sooner as its been on the To Be Upgraded list for a couple years. Sorry for the long winded post but I like the sound of my own voice and hope this information may be enlightening to others suffering a similar issue.

Hey folks: if yall PSU is shutting off for breaking its thermal threshold and shutting down, there should be a KERNEL-POWER entry in event viewer that says something like "ACPI THERMAL ZONE_TZ. T00 has been enumerated" and a bunch of status codes.

I seem to be having an issue where my PC will randomly black screen. I can hear the music playing from my games, but the monitors have lost signal and are searching for a channel.

I have to restart my PC, go into Windows Device Manager, and turn on/off the GPU. I get a lot of 400 410 even a few 411 codes.. It happened once a few weeks ago and seems to happen more often now.

do you think this is the power supply causing the GPU to shut off? I see no thermal issues on HWMonitor.

I have also used DDU on safemode to reinstall GPU drivers and rolled back the GPU driver to test.

I also plugged the PC into the wall outlet to bypass the surge protector, just in case, but that was also not the issue.

Thanks for taking the time to help people and share your knowledge.

THPSJimbles@reddit

Getting the same issue too. Sometimes with a buzzing sound and it will reset itself but mostly I can still hear and use discord even after it's crashed. Maybe a new Windows bug or just a coincidence we both have the same issue.

[-]

undertow29@reddit

It was a power supply issue for me... Gl!!

[-]

THPSJimbles@reddit

Shite. I guess I can always try a new PSU from Amazon and if it doesn't fix my issue I can return it.

[-]

Away-Ride-7802@reddit

Did it fixed it for you because I faced the same issue two months ago (same time period as you two, talk about a coincidence) and I can't seem to find the issue

[-]

THPSJimbles@reddit

Power supply replacement fixed all my issues.

[-]

Away-Ride-7802@reddit

Alr thank you I'll try a new PSU then and I'll get back to you to confirm

[-]

THPSJimbles@reddit

I recommend buying from somewhere with a good return policy just so you can get your money back if it doesn't fix your issue. Best of luck and I hope it fixes your issue!

[-]

undertow29@reddit

That was my thoughts 1000% down to the hope its not the GPU!!!

I have a similar problem where when i play Where Winds Meet it cause the gpu temp like 82-83C and during a fight with NPC the pc suddenly black screen and i can still hear my friends chatting on discord while im streaming.. i already change the gpu thermal paste & thermal pad but still this problem occur in Where Winds meet but i need to check on playing other game to.. does it mean my psu is failing too?

I have this fking error and I thought it's the CPU although never seen it more than 52 degrees. What is the solution? Replace PSU? Mine is 3 months old... Warranty should fix it

[-]

LionAdmirable556@reddit

i had melted power cable at psu side from connecting 3070 ti fe via single 8 pin -> 2*8 pin -> 16 pin adapter
I had this card for 2 years but at some point in more than a year of using it pc started to get random crashes with nothing in event viewer, i've replaced my cpu and mobo and after that it worked fine for half a year, after that at some day my pc completely refused to boot (few days before that i've got some crashes, reboots, black screens)
Figured it out only after 4070 ti i bought did black screen thing again after day of using it XD

[-]

BarberOk5449@reddit

I can't even turn on the pc so uhh idk how I was supposed to see this

[-]

namder321@reddit

Thanks for this, I'll have a look. I have been relying on event viewer while trying to trouble shoot crashes (consistently on helldivers 2 but also Warhammer 3 total war recently). I did a memtest86 to determine if its a ram issue but full pass on that front. I'm looking at PSU issues next.

[-]

joney256@reddit

Hi bro, may I know does the crash shuts down your pc, only game crash without pc shutdown or display went blank but pc still alive? cause im having an issue where sometimes when im gaming the display went blank but my pc still turned on. Then after few second vga lights start to light up on my motherboard.

[-]

tw33k_@reddit

Did you try messing with voltages in bios at all? I’m diagnosing a similar issue right now and raising cpu voltage seems to have fixed it, even though it’s been stable for years as is. Wondering if my cpu is failing or if the PSU is putting out erratic voltage or something.

[-]

h311ion@reddit

Did you ever figure out the issue with yours? I think I have a failing PSU as well, but tech support was having me try to change voltage settings in BIOS. It only made it worse, but we didn't get very far and wondering what you did. I have a 850W ATX 3.0 READY 80+ GOLD one running a 4070ti GPU and I9-13900K. The PC will freeze or screen go black during heavy load such as Helldivers 2. I've replaced mostly everything except the PSU and the PC is about a year old.

[-]

tw33k_@reddit

Yeah bios settings seems to have fixed it for me, my PC was stable for about 2 years and started freezing on boot or very shortly after (within minutes). Raising voltages did end up fixing my issues, haven’t had any problem for a few months now.

I can't remember my exact settings or what all I changed, but I think it may have actually been raising the DRAM voltage that made the difference. I went from 1.2 to 1.35v

[-]

h311ion@reddit

Hmmm interesting, ok thanks for the reply and helping me out! I will mess with those settings and see if it stabilizes those crashes

[-]

tequilagundams@reddit

I just wanted to check cause I almost have the exact same problem, even helldivers 2, can you tell me if voltages fixed it or you got a new psu?

[-]

h311ion@reddit

I got a new PSU and that wasn't the issue apparently. I still tweaked voltages and that also didn't help. It's been out of commission for a while now. I think I may have to replace the motherboard for a 2nd time. I made a mistake of getting the same brand and model the 1st time and I'm REALLY hoping that's what it is because I have literally replaced every other component now, some more than once. Most frustrating PC problem I've ever dealt with.

[-]

tequilagundams@reddit

jesus, hope it works out, ill replace my psu and tell you how it works, that sounds frustrating as hell

[-]

h311ion@reddit

Thanks man, I hope your PSU replacement works. If you have a spare one, I would suggest swapping that first before buying a new one.

[-]

Opening_Frame_9983@reddit

Have you found a fix here? Ive been really enjoying helldivers but i have been having relatively this same issue but i havent had done too much except blindly looking at event viewer codes. My PSU is old but ive spent my wallet and and trying to decide before just buying another

[-]

h311ion@reddit

It ended up being my GPU even though I had replaced it twice

[-]

Opening_Frame_9983@reddit

Thats terrifying i bought mine last year or so. Its done well for me 😭. This shutdown also happened on minecraft so idk

[-]

tequilagundams@reddit

dude im running a sketchy 2 psu loadout rn cause the new corsair sf750 doesn’t have enough pcie cables for my gpu, evga 3080, so my old psu is on the 3080 and new one on motherboard and i had to jumpstart the old psu with a paper clip, as i said sketchy af and i thought now cause the old psu only has to deal with gpu it’s fine but no launched helldivers, 15 min later shutdown, waiting for new 30 dollar stupid corsair pcie cable, while cussing like a sailor at 1 am

[-]

h311ion@reddit

Lol I've had to do sketchy things like that with my power before too. Used to have to spam the power button when plugging in the power cable into the PSU, like crackhead ultra speed spam the power button and it would have to be PERFECT timing, like less than a quarter of a second. Sometimes I'd sit there for 15 minutes trying it over and over. Some PCs man...

[-]

tequilagundams@reddit

we share a common pain, dude it’s like seeing my pc die of dementia, it was fine for 6 months, started acting up for a week, stopped, reappeared put of the blue another 8 months later

pijoncha@reddit

Man if you find the solution let me know please i'm going crazy, it happened to me 2 weeks ago and I switched the 8 pin connector on the GPU and it solved it, but now it's happening again

No I didn't do any further trouble shooting. Threw more money at the problem and bought a new PSU. To be fair it was 10 years old and had 20k hrs easily. It didn't owe me anything

[-]

Demona_Elisa@reddit

so since you bought the new PSU, and based on this comment, it sounds like after everything you upgraded that didn't fix the issue, it's safe to say it was the PSU, right? Also, i know it sucks that was the very last thing you upgraded but at least you basically have a new PC now lmao so did you fix the issue with your new PSU?

[-]

CosmeticParanoia@reddit

I know this reply was over a year ago but i would like to say that i appreciate your time posting this, i am currently experiencing the same problem but the only difference is the funds haha,

Current Situation:
-PC Crashes when gaming but it usually takes around 10min-45mins.

-Tried Stress Testing Processor (Ryzen 7 2700x) and GPU (RTX 2060 SUPER)
Both passed but still crashes when playing demanding games.

-Tried to clean my PC. still no dice.

i might just bite the bullet and buy a new PSU and hopefully everything works out.

[-]

GuancheWarrior@reddit

Did you finally buy the new psu? if so, did it fixx the problem?

[-]

Several-Teach1515@reddit

Keen to hear this as well. I have the same problem where stress tests are ok but the system freezes during gaming sometimes.

[-]

CosmeticParanoia@reddit

I just got it today! I got the Corsair RM850x. Currently gaming rn and so far no crashes yet 2hrs in! (Compared to the 45mins i usually get) Hopefully this fixes it!

[-]

Lewdeology@reddit

Did you crash in the stress tests?

[-]

One-Educator-7145@reddit

My sweet dear brother in christ this is the post ive been looking for. I have been trawling microsoft forums and reddit trying to find someone with the same issues as me, even ordering new parts to swap out components and track it down. I've run countless command prompts trying to test things. And yes...I should've suspected my PSU sooner but this post has truly spoken to the heart of what I've been struggling with for the past 6 months.

[-]

Qth3r@reddit

I had the same exact issue and psu was the problem

[-]

NikoBelic0@reddit

and was psu was that?

[-]

Feldsanitaeter@reddit

Hi yeah having similar issues rn

My pc keeps crashing under even smaller amounts of load and after testing and replacing parts it seems to be the Powersupplie causing the issues.

I know it's been a while but do you remember what happened on your screen. As I am seeing spaced out green pixels and then pc crashes, sometimes powering back up right after.

[-]

NightmareT@reddit

wow, exacly like me... but idk if is the power supply...

random crash, change rams , change ssd, nvme, yesterday i change the gpu with the new build... and still random crash on load...... ssd not showing

[-]

Anime_Is_Reality@reddit

My laptop had been doing the similar. Its been shutting down twice, so the 3rd start's the charm. Idle game or active, doesn't matter. Its not graphics load.

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

In this case it would be the actual laptop charging brick right?

[-]

iVirtualZero@reddit

Having to warm up the PSU, before mine died, I had to keep the PC plugged into for a good 5 minutes before i could power it on. Before that the PC wouldn't power on at all, no matter how many times I hit the power button.

[-]

Astr0bull@reddit

The most common failure point is usually the fan, resulting in excessive fan bearing noise, or straight up not working. When the fan quits, the psu will pretty much start to cook itself when under load, drastically reducing component lifespan. Often the psu will just die and refuse to start up, but sometimes a part will explode, mostly the primary capacitor or an apfc mosfet.

Some older psu's won't have proper protections, and when loaded up, the voltage will run totally out of spec, resulting in failing pc parts. This was often the case when a crappy psu would run near or above it's advertised capacity(well above it's actual capacity), resulting in the offending rail to run well below it's rated voltage. Sometimes, the 12v rail would run at 7v instead, which is pretty rare these tbh.

I've had a few psu's just shutdown and die, which is the best scenario. I've also had one explode and one burn, but both were very low quality and were straight garbage compared to modern psu's.

[-]

BarberOk5449@reddit

Im seeing all these comments of people changing the bios settings and blah blah but my pc legit won't even turn on for more than 2 seconds so idk how im supposed to troubleshoot. My mobo doesn't allow ram or oc tweaking so the high voltage fix i can't do. I have a psu coming today im hoping it fixes it

[-]

mike42042071281@reddit

I feel you mine won't post and it was fine one minute then the next nothing. I have tested RAM, different graphics card and the strange thing is I am not getting any error codes or flashing power button. All the lights and fans work but no picture. I'm hoping a new PSU will be the fix since it's over 13 years old.

[-]

Icantpickadamnname@reddit

Having the same issue. Were you able to find a fix?

[-]

Opening-Wealth-9137@reddit

I've just started having this issue in the past week- it will boot up, but then shuts off. Like you, all fans, lights, etc are working but then it will reset BIOS and I have to go through safe mode to get anywhere

[-]

ryanc_@reddit

hi, do you have an update? i'm going through the same thing

[-]

Iqblv688@reddit

Let me list out what i am facing right now:

PC kept hard crashed and rebooting after like 5 minutes of gaming
Hardware i.e. keyboard, mouse, console, wifi adapter (wired/wireless) connect disconnected repeatedly
Online gaming making my FPS dropped (No problem with wifi

My fan spinning perfectly, my pc is directly to my air conditioner, thermal pace changed recently.

Assuming the PSU is the real problem. Anyone agree with me?

[-]

ashixg@reddit

This is the first person ive seen whose hardware keeps randomly disconnecting i wasnt sure if it was a psu problem but now im more certain ik this is late but thanks

[-]

rowinrowen@reddit

Same though. Did you replace the PSU and have success with that fixing it?

[-]

ashixg@reddit

Yep turns out my psu was over 10 yrs old, after fixing it everything went back to normal

[-]

rowinrowen@reddit

Makes sense. Guess I'm buying a new PSU today haha. Mine is just now acting up after 12 years.

[-]

pewpersss@reddit

bro mine is only 3 years old and having same symptoms :(

[-]

Electro-Grunge@reddit

I got same issues. Did you change your psu? Hard crashing with no bsod and I did notice usb thumb going haywire connecting and disconnecting.

I got a 13700k too, so I could be an unlucky one with cpu stability issues. But the hard crashing makes me think try new psu (mine is old anyways).

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

Did you manage to find a fix?

[-]

Electro-Grunge@reddit

Was old failing power supply. All good now.

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

Well that's reassuring.
I am facing this issue on a laptop though. Would that mean replacing the charging brick?
(I use it without a battery)

[-]

Electro-Grunge@reddit

Possibly, hard to say.

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

Alright, thanks! I am not tech savvy so I don't really know if laptops do have a PSU or not but from what I can tell having researched, its the charging brick. Hopefully that fixes it for me as well.

[-]

Electro-Grunge@reddit

Yea the brick would be your power supply. If it was failing and not providing enough power, than it would probably hard crash since you have no battery.

For my own, I did so much troubleshooting there was nothing left but try the power supply or replace my motherboard/cpu.

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

Thank you. Since I don’t understand tech as much. I’ve tried troubleshooting the best I could. Nothing popped up on the stress tests via OCCT.

[-]

Electro-Grunge@reddit

See for me OCCT would cause it to crash in 5 mins and power cycle. Which is how I figured it was PsU.

[-]

Stoned_Noob@reddit

I guess maybe I’m running the tests wrong. I’ll research on it and then run it again. Cause it didn’t seem to be doing anything not even heating up my laptop as much as it usually does while gaming and such. I also only ran the test for only 5 mins.

[-]

ByeMoon@reddit

My PC has trouble booting up occasionally and stays with an orange light and has randomly shut down 4 times in the past 3 months followed by restarting itself. I'm not good at PCs but I think this is related to the PSU hopefully some experts verify this. I'm going to buy a new PSU and hope I'm not wasting money replacing this part will update if i remember or someone asks in the future.

[-]

purelover534@reddit

Any update? I'm currently having the sane issue.

[-]

ByeMoon@reddit

Yeah after replacing my PSU I haven't had any random shut downs with my pc being on everyday for atleast 15 hours for the past 16 days.

Although I'm going to wait 2 months before concluding the problem was the PSU and will continue updating if ur interested. I do think if your issue is the same its most likely the PSU though, bit of a pain to change as I didn't know how to as i bought mine prebuilt but managed to figure it out with youtube tutorials, good luck.

[-]

purelover534@reddit

Thanks! Mine was randomly restarting but all my pc lights are all on in the process. Restarts are random regardless if im gaming, afk, or just browsing. Restarting also occurs 10mins in, 20mins in or sometimes no restarts for 2+ hours even when gaming.

Yeah I have the problem where it wouldn't boot up at all but pc lights is on but no keyboard lights, and I have to uplug it and try again or just randomly reseat ram in hopes of it turning on just for it to randomly restart. .

My question is does all of these problems very similar to you?

[-]

ByeMoon@reddit

That many restarts is way too frequent I think you shouldn’t keep trying to use ur pc until u replace the psu. When a psu dies it can take everything with it. It does sound like the psu is the main culprit because even asking shuts it down so ur cpu or gpu isn’t overheating.

[-]

purelover534@reddit

I'm torn between the mobo or psu. I did a bunch of RAM testing but all results are inconclusive since sometimes it doesn't even restart for 1 hour.

I'm using my 4 year old MWE white v2 currently, I might just bite the bullet in a new psu and hope it fixes it.

[-]

ByeMoon@reddit

Yeah the motherboard also has a chance to be the culprit. It sucks, we cant know for sure maybe a repair shop can if u go that route, but I’m scared they’ll steal my data lol or do funny business nor can I be fked carrying a pc. I think the higher odds based on your issues you described and researching other ppls past issues sounds like the psu is more likely.

[-]

purelover534@reddit

Mine is probably RAM related. I tried cleaning my RAM gold pins using an eraser and blow out the slot. System is currently running for 8 hours straight. I might have to do more investigating tho.

[-]

ConsciousBuddah@reddit

Idk if this thread is still alive but I may be having similar issues. I’m giving my nephew a secondhand pc. He replaced gpu and cpu and ram. PSU and mobo are original. I fire it up and the fans spin like normal and after about 10 seconds it cycles down. That cycle continues indefinitely until I hard shut down. It never reaches the bios, nor do I ever get video.

[-]

Joukisen@reddit

That's either motherboard or CPU for sure.

[-]

BarberOk5449@reddit

Im also getting a similar issue, pc light on the front turns orange when just turning on for a FRACTION of a sec, it starts loading, monitor turns on, and then it turns itself off. I'm getting a new psu today in the mail and will let you know if higher wattage fixed it

TerranST2@reddit

Also late to the party, but my problem is as following :

Most of the time, i simply cannot turn on my computer (especially if i left the psu switch on during the night) in that case, the only way i found to power the computer the next day, is to press the power button on the computer, and then switch off and on the power strip on which the psu is plugged, and it simply powers like nothing is wrong, pc will work, even under stress, like business as usual, but the trick is to power the pc in the first place.

I brought it to IT technicians i know, they ran a full stress test of the whole build, gpu, ram sticks, gpu, psu...

Nothing note worthy showed up in the logs of said testing software, we were scratching our heads.

Now a few days later, and i notice a 'clicking' noise, sometimes it's intermitent few ones or sometimes it's occasional lone, louder ones, all while running demanding games.

Tests and technicians tell me the psu is 'fine' but my guts are telling me this ought to be psu failure right ? But i never heard of one so... subtle, no blue screens, no random shutdowns, nothing out of the ordinary.

I mean technically pc runs fine, but the noises, and the difficulty powering on the device in the first place, it's puzzling.

[-]

mikoi19@reddit

Hello, kinda late to the party. My newly built system is doing this every time i benchmark it. I use the userbench tool to test out the rig.

Prior to this-

Updated Bios and Gpu Drivers

Cpu- 9600x Mobo- Msi B850m Gaming Plus Wifi Gpu- Gigabyte 9070 xt OC Psu- Mwe 850W v2 Ram- 2x16gb 6000 cl30

The problem occurs when it stresses the gpu, the system just shuts off and no rebooting.

FeelingEnd1441@reddit

My power supply or motherboard are failing right now . I figured out that the power or reser switch are ot working anymore . The reason while it took me so long to come to this conclusion is that it's still working for me with a workaround . In bios I have activated the setting " restore after power loss " I'm using this to Start my pc when I'm turning the power socket on which Controlls all my devices . That way I don't have to press the pc button . I only found out when I realised I can't use the power button or the keyboard or mouse to wake up the pc from hibernation.

I have tried to short the ps pin to all available grounds like the asrock support suggested but still the same outcome . From psw pin to ground 5v can be measured.

Next step whould be to check if the power supply can be started without the mainboard by shorting two pins on the 24 pin connecter .

Have anyone encountered some strange behaviour like this? The pc is performing as good as it always does . No strange behaviour. No backscreen at all .

Board is the asrock h670 pg riptide . And power supply a bequit 80 bronze that I hot second hand 😢 three years ago

Thanks any replies

im having the same issue and im thinking its the power supply cause everything else seems fine, but just a few days the monitor would suddenly shut off and the fans on my GPU would spin at a higher speed but there was no unusual heat and the heat looks fine even after hard shut down and reboot. I wonder if its the power supply since it's not the GPU i don't think. i dunno.

So its not the GPU or PSU. I think it was a faulty or loose wire that connects the PSU to the GPU. so far it's fine after wiggling it around. I took out the GPU and checked it for any damage or burns and check the wiring and it looks good. I then sent the PC for stress tests from the manufacturer to use the warranty and they said they found no issues. So we will see how it goes. Just got it back.

Try using a different cable for the gpu like a differrnt pvie cable its not the powrr supply cuz same happend with me but the psu was not the fault infact none of my hardware is faulty or damaged it just rejects idk why

Demona_Elisa@reddit

i think it was a loose cord that connects the PSU to the GPU. i sent the pc and they found nothing wrong after stress testing it. But before i sent it in, they had me take out the GPU and check the wiring. the tech was concerned that it was a faulty or loose wire. it seems good so far day 1. we shall see. thank you for your input.

Also ich Kämpfe seit 2 Jahren mit meinem Rechner ,

Rtx 4090 / 13900kf / Z790 AM / ddr5 7200 cl 34 / BQ 1200 w SP11 Mod.

Der Rechner lief 3 Monate lang wie eine Rakete 🚀 , nach dem 3 Monat mein erster BSOD.

Die Symptome äußerst sich so: -Kein klares Bild/ Image mehr -BSODs -Lüfter drehen seltsam hoch manchmal sowohl Gehäuse als auch GPU lüfter - Ruckler im jeden Spiel - Das schlimmste was es für ein Spieler gibt.... Verzögerungen bei Eingabe einer Taste sei es Maus oder Keyboard als ob das das Bild nicht synchron mit der Eingabe wäre , was man auch ersehen kann beim zocken. Quasi sieht er mich um die Ecke früher als ich ihn.

-korrekte Nvidia Settings bearbeitet

Was habe ich unternommen: - Erstmal am BIOS mit Spannungen experimentiert

CPU ausgebaut auf Pins überprüft, in der Tat waren 1 - 3 Pins seltsam., also neues MoBo her z 790 Max HERO Keine Besserung.

-Memtests86 alle gepasst ....

-Kabel Hdmi 2.1 / DP gewechselt / Monitor gewechselt

Bequiets empfohlenen 12VHPWR Kabel / Nvidia 4zu1 Kabel probiert
Win11 neu Installiert

-mit Latancymoon Tool analysiert , hohe Spikes festgestellt

-Zudem war ich bei ARLT , um auf Fehler u . Diagnose prüfen lassen. Die meinten das alles passt. ....

Plattformwechsel auf B650e msi WiFi/ 7800x3d und dedizierte EXPO Sticks von Kingston Fury 6000 Keine Besserung
Auf eine neue RTX 4070 Super Asus Dual downgraded Keine Besserung.

Ich bin mit meinem Latein am Ende , der Computershop meint , da ist nichts und bei mir daheim die alten Probleme ..... die einzigsten Komponenten die ich nicht gewechselt habe sind -Aio Nzxt 360 LCD -Netzteil -Lüfter Arctic p12 / p14 er -SSD 970 evos wobei CrystalDysk keine Fehler aufweisen.

Ich weiß nicht mehr weiter ....

Evtl kommt da jemand auf eine brillante Idee 💡 :) !?

I'm cooked, my only GPU RX 5700xt didn't give any signs of life today and I've noticed my PC usually would either can post in one click or I have to keep doing it several times until it succeed. Now I'm actually concerned for my PSU Corsair CV650 because it's a "decent" PSU that does the job well enough, I also noticed my p/S2 keyboard have delay to turn off the NUM lock light when my PC just shut down

In my case GPU has no display after PC was shutdown overnight, this happens almost everytime and GPU will work perfectly after PSU is slightly warmed up, also LED case fans flicker during high load.

Normal-Sink-6629@reddit

did you replace your psu? I'm experiencing similar problem. Always hard to start from cold start but once it able to boot into windows, nothing seems wrong. Strangely, I also have no issues using it for gaming or heavy loads. Only that annoying no display every time I let my pc off overnight.
