I don't think it's the PSU that's the problem. I just think that the OS doesn't like it.

It's an Alpine 600W with a 120mm fan.

I recently purchased a new PSU. I installed it earlier and powered up my computer. Everything was working fine until I reached the login screen. The moment I got to the login screen, the computer immediately shut down and restarted. I have tried to access the login screen multiple times, but to...
