Okay cool, any recommended brand from your personal experience? I was looking into Corsair but I'm getting mixed reviews.

I checked it, thanks for asking, I reseated it just in case. Still does the same. I didn't think of that, thanks. By the way I noticed that it won't turn on if in the previous usage I use it for gaming. Can heat affect it? But doing a power cycle would turn it back on.

Yeah I'm starting to consider that as well, any recommendations? Should I wait for COVID-19 to end? I feel like some components' price has gone up since this pandemic started. Should I buy another 500w or should I get a bigger one? My future upgrades wouldn't be much different from what it is...

Another thing, I noticed when I plug the HDD cables (sata and power) my power button LED flickers, but when I unplug the cables or just connect one of them the flicker stops. I used another sata cable to check if it's the culprit but it keeps flickering. Is it possible the cable from the psu to...

Alright that answers my question I guess, so thanks for helping out. Another question I do have is how long would it take for the power supply to "reset" after having a protection shutdown? Yesterday I turn it on for every 10-30 minutes and it won't work, today I tried again (after leaving it...

Standalone as in turning on just the psu or with the essentials (mobo, cpu, ram)? I couldn't get it to start with only the mobo, cpu, ram, as it shuts itself off after around 2 seconds. Running the psu alone is my aim right now. This is odd but my psu doesn't have a switch... Will unplugging...

It's a random guess tbh, my pc instantly shuts itself off every time I power it on, and right now it's down to the psu triggering something that cuts the power or the motherboard being broken (see the thread I linked). By the way, would you mind explaining "cycle the power switch on it"? Soo...

I've been troubleshooting my pc here I moved this specific question here as the power supply tag seems a lot more relevant. I'd like to test the psu itself now, as I'm guessing the short circuit protection is what's making it turn itself off (it's an FSP Hexa+ 500W). someone on that thread...

Unfortunately this time it won't work even after removing gpu and hdd, or putting in just one of them. Tried to unplug RAM as well but it still dies. I'm about to try this, possibly using paperclip. But something comes to mind: I read somewhere that shorting the green and black cable tricks the...

Good point haha, nothing changed. I was able to get it working for a few days before it happened again just now, so I tried running with GPU and without HDD, then vice versa. Both results in the same splitsecond turn off. Should I start testing the psu, or should I start suspecting other...

Hi Alvis, thanks for the help. Solution 1 and 2 resulted in the same error as before, I did those and it still turns itself off. However, solution 3 somehow worked, i went past POST and into the BIOS. It couldn't boot the first time I hit the power button but I suppose it's because I reset the...

Hello there, Today my PC has been turning on for a few seconds before turning itself off. When I press the power button, all fans (CPU fans, GPU fans, case fans, PSU fans) work properly, but after a few seconds everything shuts down. Sometimes it would show up the BIOS screen before turning...

Hi, there. I had a Lenovo X220, which weighs somewhat light (3.3lbs or 1.5kg), and somewhat small (12.5", 2.5cm thickness). Since my brother would be using it, I need another one. Any recommendations for a good laptop that weighs around the X220 (or even lighter)? I don't mind the screen size...

I just got a new laptop with an Intel Integrated HD Family, but the device manager didn't say anything about the series number, just Intel Family. Is there any way so I can find what Intel GPU am I exactly running? I'll let you know my computer's informations: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32-bit...
