Thanks for the reply. Yes, the CV650 PSU is brand new. I'm up for some updates in the future so I want at least 650W, the problem is that those 3 models up there are the only (decent) ones available in my local market right now.

Hello everybody. Recently I had a problem with my new build which was rebooting every time the GPU was under load (Here is the original post). It turned out after a few days of troubleshooting that the problem was coming from a faulty (new!) PSU. I sent the PSU back for warranty but after...

Thanks for your response. The PSU is brand new and still in warranty so I don't think it's an aging problem. I think it is either defective or insufficient for my system. Anyways, I just made my mind in bying a better one, returning the faulty one and sell it later when they send back a...

[UPDATE] Okay, so at the end I sent the pc to be tested by a friend in another city. These are the tests an conclusions we came to: He tested the pc with two GPUs (gtx 1650 and Rx 480) with furmark and aida for 24 hours each with no problems. He tested my GPU in another compuer (same test)...

After a few more experiments and a closer look at the mobo, the PC is not actually shutting down. It is rebooting. I'm more convinced it is PSU related

That's a good plan, but unfortunately Amazon does not operate directly in my country and I still would have to pay a lot of money only for the shipping. There are simmilar services here but their return policy is not as good.

Thanks, I'll do that as soon as I can (I have no idea where I'm going to get spare parts, but I'll find out). By the way, I noticed that when the pc shuts down inmediatly after the GPU stress test starts, the mobo lights are still on and the fans are still spining. Isn't that a clue that maybe...

That makes sense. Unfortunately it will be super difficult to find someone who can borrow me either a PSU or a GPU (basically all of my friends use laptops) but I can try. On the other hand, how much would you say the pack CPU-GPU consumes in this case? Or being more precise, if the PSU were...

So, It is either the PSU or the GPU and there is no way of figuring this out without another PSU or GPU. I ran a CPU stress test for about 1 hr and everything went well. Doesn't that discard the option of a failing PSU?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don't have another PSU to test :(. I made a test disabling the XMP and the result was the same. At this point I suspect it is either the core temperatures, a defective GPU or a defective PSU. Is there a way of testing the PSU without replacing it? Like...

Hello everybody. Here's my problem: I assembled my first build ever a couple of days ago (so probably my decisions were not the best ones) and everything went smooth until yesterday when my pc suddenly turned off while working out some shaders in Unity. This morning I installed GTAV and after a...
