    Question gpu Crosing power limit and PC causing power trips

    I see your standard voltage is 230Volts at 50 Hz. In the US we have 120volt standard but 220 volt line come to the house and It is split from the transformer.

    Question gpu Crosing power limit and PC causing power trips

    The other outlet might have had low voltage from the other users causing your PSU to struggle to keep up. That is why they always say to put somthing like an electric heater or window AC on a separate circuit. Are you using 220 or 120volts?

    [SOLVED] Multiple BSOD despite RAM passing tests?

    It is possible an unstable power supply could do that also. Have you updated the AMD chipset drivers? Windows does not automatically update those! I buildt my B450 in march and there have already been two chip-set updates.

    [SOLVED] PC/Games keep crashing when I turn on XMP to make my RAM 3600mhz

I have the B450 TOMAHAWK MAX with G.SKILL, Ripjaws V Series, F4-3200C16D-32GVR memory and XMP didn't work, I had to set it...

    Never use anything wet in cleaning your computer! If the ram wasn't plugged in perfectly it could have caused a small arc like Ralston18 said leaving a carbon deposit said and cleaning it fixed it. You should invest in a UPS system, It doesn't have to be a real expensive one unless you intend to...
