I remember from when I was younger, being told time and again 'it's never the power supply'. It's nearly always been the power supply.
The three pcs i've had over the past 10 years have all developed a dying power supply. every time people convinced me it wasn't that but it was...
Same. My dad said recently I have a bad motherboard and graphics card. I got both new ones and well it was still being gay.....well no it was my power supply. My pc hasn't worked in 2 months
@@soggy_toast_69 yeah I hate it when my motherboard and graphics card went gay
@@megugao sadly, my SSD and HDD went gay :(

I think you may just have helped me solve my ongoing PC issue. Just weird, seemingly random/untraceable errors with all components reporting just fine. Fantastic little bit of information!
I had a HIPRO Chinese 350-watt PSU running an older gaming machine with dual hard disks and a Q6600 CPU for years, and surprisingly, I never had a problem with it. What's crazy, however, was when I upgraded the machine and took out the power supply for another project, EVERY SINGLE ONE of the output electrolytic capacitors had popped their tops and leaked brown stuff in the PSU! I had no idea how the machine was still running stably, much less at full power with games, but I sure was glad I took the PSU out before it nuked the motherboard and the rest of the machine.
The rule of thumb: Every time you measure a voltage of a power supply, always put a load on one cable and measure on another cable that is not loaded. Else you measure mostly your wiring and connectors resistances. Measuring paper clip resistance is also not the best practise.
True
This has become my favorite channel!
half a year ago my previous power supply failed, which I bought was second-hand. The problem I experienced was that the computer had a hard time starting, namely I had to press the power button multiple times. After a few weeks of doing that I found out that I could only start my computer if I flip the switch at the back of the power supply off and on and then immediately press the power button. I am not sure what part(s) of the power supply was failing, but I am glad that I bought a new one.
90% sure I'm dealing with the same issue on my Corsair power supply. Only one year old! Very helpful video, thanks.
Which model of corsair do you have
Did you get it fixed? My 3 month evga psu keeps on failing

@@globalgaming290 me too. Shit
It's actually happened in my 775 system...
PSU fucks up HDD power, causing HDD to hang. New PSU resolved that
Then i installed that PSU into another 775 system. It emits magic smoke!
hi bro i have the same problem my HDD hangs and crashes is this the same problem with my Psu i have 750w psu plz help bro
@@abdulwadood6534 buy PSU tester and check it
You could some how maybe get another PSU and put it where that extra space is and set up some backup PSU like other servers. Don't know if it's possible, but it would be cool.
HudsonGTV phanteks make a product that allow for duel PSU in any computer, so with one of those he could get redundant power supplies in there
Same here, for me too its CX 750 psu. For a year it worked fine but problem really started during summer season when all our office air conditioner started functioning when the thermostat kicks in my pc will restart till the next cycle. Or when the water motor is switched on.
Few technician attended to the system but were unable to id. Finally our local electrician suggested to run the pc with the generator on wirhout any ac running.
For hours together it ran fine.
By the way only one of the pc had this problem while others has Antec, coolmaster psu in then were working fine.
So changed this cx 750 psu with a ordinary 450watts unbranded psu to testing. The system ran fine for hours even with ac's and water motor running in the background.
Dude, you sound VERY knowledgeable....I tried to follow along. I'm an adult with a bit of electrical exp... but still found it to be challenging.
I did get the gist though.
I've had windows crash a bunch of times and thought the gpu or something else like maybe ram was being faulty. Turned out it was the power supply so i got a new one (The one that was inside my build before the new one was maybe 3 years old) And when i got it put in and working, windows stopped crashing. Also had weird stuff happen before such as keyboard and mouse turning off and screen going black but the pc tower would still be lit up and fans would still be spinning.
Just found your channel today. Nice to see the little channels doing awesome work. I especially love your videos about servers. Keep it up :)
Yep had the same issue mine failed last week and I have been plagued with random crashes for no reason over the last few months. New PSU has sorted it 👍
Was it a random restart and then it just continued to restart without warning in a random way?? Sorry I'm asking about a year later but I've been having problems with mine
@@nattercakes2384 yes it just randomly restarted for no reason wasn't a perticular work load or game or programme. Then it just popped just glad it didn't take anything else with it when it went 🙈 gone with a decent Corsair RM1000x no issues since 👍 good luck I hope yours gets sorted.
I experienced the Kernal panic mark talked about. Only way to turn off the PC tower is the switch on PSU. Well I flip the switch, and boot it back up. It did make a noise out the speaker though, glad I found this video. I still have warrenty on my seasonic g series
If the 5v and 12v rails are erratic, not likely to be a faulty cap. These are forward converters in current mode regulation. The feed back is controlled via an optocoupler which would affect all output levels.
I once got a PC. No signal. Tried replacing anything. Nothing. I was desperate so I decided to check the PSU. 12v on 5v line. Replaced it and it worked like a charm. I guess some of the components shut themselves off so they wouldn't be fried
My PC began acting weird too. It all happened after I hooked up 3 additional HDDs for the purpose of storj mining. I got blue screens and shut offs. It was my 280W ASUS stock PSU. I had some extra money and bought the Corsair 850W and no problems since then.
I did the same thing. It was an old school ASUS 500W power supply and I upgraded a bunch of components on it. Then we had some snow storms and power outages and now the computer is acting up. I do basic things like go on youtube and make a youtube comment but as soon as I run the GPU over 50% this thing starts going crazy.
mine my pc time is always not working right wrong time. i thought it was the cmos battery but its just 3 months old. even while playing games sometimes it shutdown for no reason. i bought a new power supply. now everything is working right.
I have this same problem but I never thought I would have to buy a new psu after having it for the same amount of time actually
My first lesson in suspecting power supplies was my experience with consistent reboots when I'd attempt to run a specific game (back in 2004 or so) -- I had no idea what was going on until a friend of mine suspected it was a PSU issue, and it sure was. It was a "500 W" ATX power supply that I got for 30 USD...
Same problem I have now, same price same Watt. I bought a high quality corsair 550w psu
I never thought I’d have problems with the PSU because I have a seasonic focus+ platinum. I experience the same problems as you do. Just waiting for my new PSU to come.
Having the same problem now with random freezes
@@Bmanfj09 was your problem fixed when you bought the psu?
@@YazzenRUclipsYG I haven't been able to get a quality PSU yet, will update later.
Recently had a PSU cause stupid problems. YSB disconnects being the most noticable, eventually wouldn't run when grounded to case. Multimeter measure over 90 volts on all rails, even ground.
Why in the world would they stop carrying Sea Sonic supplies? I guess the price...
So helpful. I was wondering why my PC would just randomly crash and why I kept losing my internet connection. I upgraded my motherboard today and a a new cpu. The psu started to smoke as I was testing it with my rig.. I immediatly unlpugged it and removed it from my PC,
just reading though your description.
i thought i did get a good power supply. and it still failed.
i have the coolermaster v850.
I actually had a Seasonic die on me a few days ago (started shutting off at random and eventually wouldn't turn on). It was the SS-660XP2, and I guess I just happened to get a bad one seeing as how all my other Seasonics (including another, older, SS-660XP2) are fine. I replaced it with one of the new Seasonic "prime" ones and it's fine now.
this is why i have the PSU cooling seperate from the case so face down so it intakes an exhausts on its own with no extra heat from the rest of the computer. and of course i have no filter on the intake of the psu at the bottom of the case but ive had it for 2 years and there berely any dust in it because i leave my computer in a 90% dust free room a.k.a my bedrooom that i actually clean regularly lmao
I wonder if you will answer this comment but my computer only shuts off when I run demanding games&softwares. Could the problem be a PSU voltage issue ? I'm not sure how to perform a test WHILE the PC is running.
That big cap in the corner looks like it is bulging, so probably that one is the cause.
Seasonic for life. Absolute fanboy of their X series.
Indeed. I paid out the ass for the one in my server but the quality is worth it, with out all the gimmicky shit
Yup! :D
Another good brand is Delta Electronics.
I had my X750 over current protection fail and melt / smoke my molex cable that only had 1 peripheral plugged in. If I wasn't testing my system so carefully I wouldn't have caught it and it would have burned my house down. I no longer trust my X750 or Seasonic. It's not even a year old.
My Seasonic Platinum began failing under load after 1 year. Paid cash here in Japan at Joshin - couldnt find reciept - honestly never thought I would need it ever. Seasonic would not help me.
The focus gold series are good? and the newer arquitecture?
The Corsair CX series aren't really the best power supplies to use in a server... I'd personally go with a Corsair RM, TX or AX series or for 24/7 usage, Seasonic all the way!! The EarthWatts line are usually really good for server usage...
nah, Zippy is where it's at :P loud like a true chad, heavy and indestructible too xD
Old comment, but I gotta say, that I think my Corsair RM750x is failing, it restarts my pc when I play heavier games than CS:GO like Detroit: Become Human. And I know it's not the cpu or gpu because their temperatures are okay so that leaves me the thought of failing psu.
@@temegron6695 Did you fix it? Same issue with my GTX 1070 ROG Strix going black screen and full-speed fans. The GPU temperatures are good, but it must be PSU.
@@cezarstefanseghjucan I've figured it out. My pc restarted because my gpu's cooler was failing so the temperatures went high up in gpu, it even hit the 105 celsius degree. My PSU wasn't the one to blame, when I changed it to other PSU -> no change in result but when I switched NVIDIA gpu in, it worked just fine like it should.
But you seem to have much better gpu model. Mine was the older and failing version of RX 5700 XT ASUS TUF X3 Gaming 8GT.
So the only thing I can request is you to stay away from ASUS TUF cooled RX 5700 XTs :D and try to switch the components and see what switched component has the working impact.
@@temegron6695 Thanks a lot. In my case the fix was stranger, but the simplest thing possible.
I wanted to thoroughly test my PSU, so I disconnected the 24 pin motherboard connector. I then wired the green wire with one of the black ground wires (so that I can turn my PSU on). I then went to test each colored wire and the ground, with my DVOM, by using the 20 V DC setting. For each color, you need to have: Yellow: 12 V, Blue: -12 V, Violet: 5 V, Red: 5 V, Orange: 3.3 V, if you also have a White wire, it should have - 5 V. I did the same with my video card connectors. I then went to apply contact spray onto them and blew air on them. All was well within the specs. Still, I didn't understand why my video card kept dying, the temperatures were ok as well, having swapped the thermal paste. I also changed the power outlet for the supply cable going from out from the PSU.
However, when I booted up my PC afterwards, I saw a marked increase in V, still not enough for my liking, but from 11.520 V and lower, it went to 11.808 - 11.880 V. I was still skeptical, but I went on to act as everything was normal, and the whole thing was actually back to normal.
The only explanation is that the video card didn't get enough current under stress, even though I updated its BIOS and it was running very cool, basically, there was some extra contact resistance which was messing up the whole thing. The reason why it went to normal is due to the fact that I poked the DVOM probes into the contacts, effectively cleaning them, thus decreasing my contact resistance to a level that allowed it to work normally.
Thanks for the feedback and take care!
I was running pfSense on a box with an intel nic that would keep dropping out and taking a shit.. turns out it was the crappy logisys power supply that was in it. Since I didn't have any cash to replace it, I had a spare 200w LiteON psu laying around from an old HP machine.. been working great for over a year now.
Just a comment: If I heard OK, you have 2 8 ohms resistors in parallel. (Eng is not my main language)
If you have two in parallel, that's 4 ohms.
So in a 12V rail, (assuming it doesn't drop), that's 12/4 which is about 3 A, and when you remove 1 resistor, that's about 1.5 A less.
I know It's close to "an amp" as you said, but in reality that's about 50% higher than what you believe (hence 50% error).
Things change when using the 5V output.
However, I do agree that it shouldn't behave like that with such a small change in load.
I'd only recommend cleaning the PSU, as that sometimes makes electronics misbehave really bad.
L8er!
Corsair is known for their powersupplies and have a good reputation for them. If you spend a bit more money on a Corsair psu you will get one of the best powersupplies out there in terms of performance and lifespan. You always get what you pay for in this industry.
A few times a couple of weeks before my power supply failed, the motherboard anti surge function tripped when I was loading games ( Far Cry 2 and Half-life Black mesa).
Idk if my power supply isnt sufficient while it should be or my card isn't working. Everything that I've found points to both not just one...
a good way to test if its ur PSU is to overclock your shit beyond what you normally would, suck as much power as possible (within the PSU limits) and if it crashes faster or instantly then the PSU is probably the culprit
And did you have difficulty opening the screws of your psu? Because mine was slipping so could not open it to see its build quality. The product is made in china.
So i have an old pc that has a core2duo e6550 with a 9800gt to play some soft games like mk9, CS, gta 4 etc.. And sometimes after a while, the screen goes to black and the cooler starts sounding like a fucking turbo, even when the cpu doesn't go far from 30/35°c and the gpu 50°. The power suply is kinda old, so could it be the problem there? Because it also gets hot, but by the little i know about hardware, i don't see how the power supply can do dat. Any help? Pls?
I've had a Corsair 620 W PSU for 10 years now, never had anything wrong with it. I'm buying a new one just to be safe because I feel like 10 year old PSU is a firehazard. I'm going with Corsair RX650 PSU next, because you can't beat 10 years of working 100 %.
It’s funny cause I’m watching this because my Corsair psu is dying :(
Real obvious you had no fan filters in the PC that it was in, the inside is downright nasty. I've got an HX850 that's stayed filtered for 4+ years and there's no issues with it at all. It's failure is your fault not corsairs, the dust is what killed it, which would have been prevented with filters.
in event viewer, i keep seeing "event 41 kernal power". my pc keeps reebooting without warning wenever i play games or multitask etc. would love to hear some opinions.
I know this is 2 years old. Event viewer shows ID 41 kernel-power. Was it your PSU?
JesterJack I’m gonna do the same to you dude, I know you did this post 9 months ago but I’m dealing with this exact problem right now, was it your power supply?
since you both asked, yes it was my psu.
Liam Holcroft thanks man, I just took mine to the store today to get it repaired, thanks for the response though, now I have an idea what to expect
Reminds me of the time one of my friends gave me an old computer. It had a 250w PSU and a GTS450. I thought it was overheating because the PSU didn't show the wattage on the side of it.
Ben thats a recipe for disaster, I am shooked that PSU had good enough over current protection not to blow up
A few days ago we had 2 power outages in my city in 30 min and my pc was running both those times. Since then I´ve ben having huge issues with my PC. Desktop usage, web browsing, etc. is fine but when I try to play games my PC (9900k, 5700xt) keeps lagging, Blue/Black screening, freezing and stuttering. Is that most likely my psu´s fault (Be quiet system power 9 500w)or could that be the gpu or maybe my ssd or hdd (My game is on that SSD). BTW I know that 500w is more than enough for my build because it was working perfectly before the power outage.
That’s why I trust ANTEC TRUE POWER.
If you turn on it in cross load, you will not use the 12v rail.
Since the 5v and 12v rails have the same voltage controll, both of them will have a different voltage instead of have exactly 4,8-5,2 and 11.6-12.4 cuz the 12v rail has nothing to supply!
Seriously ? Power supply could cause kernel panic ? I never heard about this, anyway the video is very interesting. Also it is very useful to use ECC memory everywhere, not only on servers.
It's an ill designed unit with purposefully nerfed under-voltage shutoff, if these things hadn't been made in near million quantities, i would have said "it's not so common", but now it unfortunately is. Ooops.
Better brands than corsair? Ive had 3 corsair PSUd fail on me within the last 2.5 years. Interesting to hear your opinion on its design
So every time I play a game like Fortnite for example my computer will crash the game. I will get the stupid error thing saying that the application crashed. But the weird thing is that the other day my pc screen went black and froze, I then restarted It. It crashes about every hour or so. But then I keep restarting it and continued to play my game until it started eventually crashing the application or my pc within 10 minutes. I have looked all over the place to see what the cause is and no one can tell me. People was suggesting it was the game or my pc temperatures but I downloaded a software to monitor my temps and there all fine. So I started thinking and I went to event planner and the last thing that happened right before my pc crashed was kernel power. That had to be the cause because it does it when my pc is playing games and requires lots of power. Am I correct and suggestions would help and be very appreciated.
Been running into issues with a 700W Aerocool Cyclon WG as it was not delivering power consistently through the PCIe cable.
I tested my 2080 Super on my second rig and worked just fine, as soon as I put back into my rig and started playing it just stopped giving image and turned the fans to 100%
I will buy a Seasonic PSU and test it then
I just did a search for BSOD caused by PSU and this was the first video, despite it being 7 years old now. My issue is an HP Pavillion that cycles BSOD's. Sometimes it will load Windows then crash. It even crashes in BIOS screen and during Heirens rescue USB loading. Did all the regular things like swap ram, and removed and checked the CPU for bent pins. I'm swapping the PSU with a known good one asap. I'm wondering how to check the HP proprietary 6 pins PSU as an ATX checker won't work. Thanks for uploading this, it's still relevant and been helpful.
FSP, Delta and Seasonic are the best brand. Anything other than those are fireworks waiting to happen xD
Maybe it's time to stock up on Seasonic M12II 520?
I think I'll be ordering one of the SSR-450RM from the US. They're on sale right now.
Good price for a 80 Gold
Bought one. Super silent even, under load. Totally recomend it.
i have had exactly that .. my 1000w superflower Leadex platinum , died after 7 years ( sorta died ) , on my main system it would randomly bluescreen sometimes under load sometimes in idle .. in the end it was the psu , a simple multimeter hooked to the 12v rail showed it dropping below 11.5v during load and was already at 11.8 idle
Always run quick hardware diagnostics first if you don't have good idea of what the problem is. Test power (with a cheap Power Supply Tester www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899705003), RAM, CPU, Northbridge, and HDD/SDD. It takes 15-20 minutes. Then, go through and troubleshoot the software.
I have the same brand 750W and it started to give off burnt smell after 1 year and 10 months. The pc crashes sometimes also. Later on, when I lunched battlefield 1 the burnt off smell was all over the place and the pc crashed and this time won't boot up. However, I still see LED from my graphicscard.
Try replacing your PSU
Exactly, replace your PSU
i found the small paint brushes along with compressed air works well in getting in the tight spaces .
Hi, so do I have to connect something to the line I'll be checking for power voltage?
Lets say If I connect an old working hdd then check with the multimeter the yellow-black for 12's and the red-black for 5's ?
Correct?
Just lost an EVGA 600 within a month of install...

Yep yep same dude I was so sad
@@GRANTU122 Same here EVGA 600B rx 580

Switch mode supplies need a load on them to ensure that they run properly, so if you don't load it when you test it may give erratic tests.
I had a computer with this problem in our company, it's was just shutdown. just switched the power supply and it's working till now.
Don't replace your power supply just like that,if you have this problem and you overcloacked your computer,go and reovercloack/put it to deafoult settings and you will be good,I did that and my pc is okay now!
putting a router on top of ur powersupply damages it in under 7 years , has something to do with electromagnetism .... and having it that close to psu is damaging it very slow but it is there
#1 Subscribed because you know what you are talking about, unlike most of these RUclips "engineers" (I've been an EE for over 25 years, I can spot hogwash a thousand miles off.)
#2 Because you are Canadian, and I love Canadian's attitudes.
I can attest to what you've stated; last year i decided to buy an "XFX" (read: they are re-branded Seasonic) PSU for my PC, as I just wasn't willing to risk my PC on dodgy Chinese crap (again!).
God bless you, Mark. Do you know Paul Carlson of "Mr Carlson's Lab"? Another SUPERB Canadian engineer!

Hi Mark, can you answer this question which was bothering me a lot.
I use Thermaltake TR2 470 watt power supply ( you can google it ) from 2012 to till this day. Do you think i should change it because its old.???
AD KN if its working why would you
Kapetsu
I am afraid it might go down and damage my hard drives with it
oh i understand
AD KN it's a thermaltake. they tend to make low quality stuff.
Ali Abdallah
How can you say for sure.?? Maybe you bought the cheaper quality, do you know there four different types of quality power supplies made just by Thermaltake?? And four types are the ones i know, there might be more.
For example:
Themaltake Litepower 650 watt is around 400$
Thermaltake Smart SE 630 watt is around 600$
Thermaltake TR2 600 watt is around 900 $
Thermaltake Tough power 700 watt is around 1400$.
Litepower series are lowest quality, Tough power are the highest quality, i wonder which one u choose to buy.
Got a problem with a psu that turns off by itself ... even without anything but the tester attached to it. The -12v says LL and the +12v rail goes up to 12.6v before shutting off. 3.3v and 5v seems fine and stable. Already replaced one capacitor that was leaking (16v 1000uf). Any suggestion what might be the problem and on how to solve it? Thanks in advance!
Me and my old VX550W... Being tortured whith an overclocked 8320 and r9 390 xD
I've a 9 year old corsair ax850. Its turning on then back off via a relay. Opened it up and can't see any swollen capacitors or obvious damage. Looked at pricing all new capacitors and its not worth it, there are too many and the unit cost is too high when not buying in bulk so I'll just have to replace it.
I just had to replace the power supply in my NAS with a SeaSonic supply. The EVGA one I bought a few months ago was having issues where the IPMI would reset due to a separate problem and the system would click on for 5 seconds and click off. This would repeat for as much as 30 minutes without intervention. Would this be an issue with compatibility or is the power supply bad? It's still under warranty and I didn't have problems with it on another board that I tested it with.
I had the same problem recently with PSU. I had random PC crashes, sometimes it was 3 days until crash but sometimes 3 times a day. I had to turn off and on PSU to be able boot it again.
Did the psu end up being the problem? I’m having the same problems right now
@@noahb3ll958 Noo, it was the air flow in the case
@@noahb3ll958 I bought a new case & built a new computer and now this PSU is great. I run it on silent mode & it's cold all the time.
IF you are having these issues, consider buying a new case or adding more fans to your computer
Nerino my temps are normal from what I can see. But I’ve been having this problem for a long time, I even replaced the motherboard with the same model and everything, it seemed to work for the first couple days but literally just last night it crashed once again after playing With my gpu under full load
Nerino but I do have a Corsair cx650 and apparently from reading the comments corsairs and especially the cx series of psu aren’t known for their longevity or quality I guess
Maybe this is what is causing my green screen crash. Last night I was laying down and my pc was off. I heard a loud pop come from my pc. It turned on no problem though. Think this is the psu?
im running Pop OS and having lock up and resetting randomly problems too, so i took apart entire computer and cleaned it and inspected all caps i could see.
i found no bulging caps or burn spots on msi tomohawk mobo, rx560 gpu or inside psu which is almost 10 yr old 750 watt antec.
and i still got a lockup within a few days even with psu sitting outside the case[should run cooler]
at todays gpu prices i hate to guess its the problem , my same Rx560 is more expensive 350 cdn now than when i bought it 3 yrs ago at 285cdn but it does already sport a line thru display of one output, vga i think
so whats your best guess computer experts?
I noticed today a burn smell coming from my pc, turned it off and then tried to reboot. No display but the fans and lights still work. I noticed the psu red voltage switch in the back looked a lil burnt. What should i do?
i have a weird issue with my desktop when i log into windows. After I log into windows the desktop is see-through. After i open some program it then eventually shows up. I can also "retrieve" my desktop by clicking with my mouse in "windows paint" app fashion. I also had my pc wake up from sleep mode. Could these 2 things be from a faulty power supply?
is it safe to measure the voltage while the powersupply is in a computer and running? i would think its ok, but idk so tahts why im asking (i dont have anything conveniant to connect to it so i can test it like you are doing now
hello, need a answer on something that just recently started occurring!!
whenever i play player unknown battlegrounds my monitor and razer keyboard go black for a few seconds, as if it were going to sleep. this only occurs in this game tho. not h1z1 or csgo or any other game i play
so im wondering is this a sympton of a failing psu or is there something else going on?
Thanks
Stay away from the corsair CX series. The corsair HX series is very good though. If you take apart a PSU and saw oversized quality caps, transformers, and inductors, silicon cement holding down the inductors, large bridge rectifier(s) attached to a heatsink, and beefy heat sinks, it's a very good power supply.
been using a CX 600 for some years now and i never had any issues with it, gaming for over 12 hours per day
I try to power on my desktop in the morning but the power button light lights up and then it turns off. I dont hear any cpu fan spinning in that 1 second on and off. If i press power button again it would power on no problem. this a sign of bad psu?
What's a solid polymar cap? Can you find these in the correct value for the output caps? The primary side capacitor looks way to small in value too, and there is just one of those. WTF? 450 watts, ha.
+Mark Furneaux what is your WAP network like? I need to upgrade my WAP's so I am looking for recommendations.
Woah hey, I've got the same Wi-fi Router!
Archer C2 right??
I had similar issues with my PSU some time ago, it turns out the 4+4pin plugs had melted inside the 8-pin mobo power slot. (The 12v connector that feeds the mobo extra power)
Thank god this PSU had an extra 8-pin 12v cable.
hmm, my computer blue screened twice while installing AMD drivers, is it pure coincidence that I happened to get a new Antec PSU a while back? it only ever happens with AMD drivers though
its got a design flaw on the power on stat circut basicly makes supply think its in over current or under current
So would it most likely be a Power Supply error when the power switch won't work right away or it would shut down when disco'ing a usb external hd or even randomly shut off or reboot
hallo i know this video is a bit old but....my pc i think have the same problem....random shout down and some time dosn't start and turn off...also i heared a sort a BIP scream 1 week ago during a crash/random shut down

I've broken 3 PSU's. A 500, 600, and 750 Watt. I got kinda tired of failing components. So i went with the EVGA G2 1300 Watt
It's going to break anyway. Power has nothing to do with reliability.
It will break, but not anytime soon, it will most likely last 5 to 15 years.
Yocool13's Channel Sounds about right. This one has a 10 year warranty.
ChaseMMD I know, I have the same one but a lower wattage. :3
I have a POST issue, sometimes there is no BLEEP, when there is no bleep, the monitors wont turn on, when there is a bleep, everything works fine??? AGGHHH please help!!
So i found your channel a few days ago and i love it! Thanks for getting me into Ubuntu! I would very much appreciate if you could do a video where you talk about your scripts in particular the "Beep pc speaker when network goes down" script :-)
That what am wondering too, like playing games my pc just randomly freezes then it reboots idk if it’s really my psu or driver but then again all my drivers are up2date
I had a PSU kill a CPU,motherboard and melt a SATA cable connector luckily it wasn't plugged into any storage devices. It was a cheap PSU that came with my PC. I got a new PSU from amazon and am glad I did
power supplies can also cause weird intermittent graphic card issues
hey mark what machine or device do you use to over volt things (That PC fan)
Mark Furneaux::: what if i dont have tools to test?? i recently have a no Post, but on 2 different PC"s.. One was my Prmiary Asus which just went dark.. And then i got my Back up, a Gigabyte with all its own componante, Ram, CPU, PSU, and also dont post. when the Asus went out i had my Zotac mini 1050ti 4GB, running, while i put my GTX 1070 8GB fe a Hydor AIO cooler on it, and i went to remove the Zotac and went out and put the 1070 and nothing posted. Now the 1070 is dead , after i took off the cooler put the stock case back on, and just dead, i messed it up. But would like to find out how to find if my zotac still works, the fan does spin, but cant get a post on either motherboard, if any tip please advise ty
Would this be related to random start freeze, ex start the computer and makes it pass the bios but than freezes and 20 sec later shuts down?
Mine is the same way though like you keep putting it off finally gonna change mine Saturday to a new one.
mine corsair vs450 after 3 years of frequent usage, now can only run with 1 single slot ram without any other attachment, when i plug cd/dvd drive or ram, it stucks and won't perform POST.
i have one question
when i have my pc off (no power in the pc at all) it takes like 10 seconds for my pc to get electricity through the whole pc and then it only turns on
is that normal?
p.s: that is only when i flick the swich and press the power button a couple of times and then try to turn on the system
I just tried that because I experienced the Kernal panic mark talked about. Only way to turn off the PC tower. Well I flip the switch, then hit the power button to "drain" the mobo backup electricity. Mines didnt take ten seconds to power on, just maybe a second longer. I boot to SD idk if that makes a difference. It did make a noise out the speaker though, Glad I found this video. I still have warrenty on my seasonic g series.
My pc keep on off by self 3sec on then off .no display .ram and gpu is fine how to know its psu problm
Its cmos

What is an example of a power supply problem??
Jukkaraine thank you
@Jukkaraine and when I play games now they just freeze after about 5 minutes of gameplay.
I have a new 850rmx Corsair power supply the only issue I have rn is when my computer goes into sleep mode everything turns on and my motherboard doesn’t boot, but if I shut it off then turn it on it works completely fine and boots fast and when I go into bios and save and exit it shuts off then turns on then shuts off then finally boots on normally plus I left my pc on for 6 hours and nothing happened I don’t know if it’s the motherboard or power supply I left my computer on for hours and no issues happened it doesn’t shut off randomly
Old PSU needs a recap lol
