power supply

A few months ago I upgraded to an RTX 4060 from a 1070. After a few days my monitors would lose signal a few minutes after boot, but the problem was fixed by reseating and dusting my connections. 3 months later, my monitors randomly lose signal almost immediately after powering on. I swapped in...

So short backstory, I built my PC about a year ago, February 2023 and it was dying a lot in an interesting manner. Freezes up for about half a minute and then black screen hard reset.. It was rare and I didn't think much of it. About 2 months later I upgraded to a more recent motherboard and CPU...

Hi gang, Amidst the many threads I see with 4080s not giving a display signal, I can't even get any lights on with mine. I recently purchased an MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX 4080 to treat myself after getting a new job. I am upgrading from a 3070ti. I made sure that the 4080 would be compatible with my...

I have an 3040 MT w/ i5 6500 + rx 460 and i want to upgrade to rx 470 but my power supply is 240w max output (PSU model H240AM-02) but i have no idea if that psu can handle it without blowing up, so what do u thinks guys

I have a small concern about my psu, I have a genuinely low power consumption system around 400w). The power supply I am using is the gigabyte ud 750 gm (750w), I am worried why the fan on the psu doesn't spin, the system runs fabulously with no problem and works well on though load, so can the...

so uh recently i had a power outage, and because of the stupid idiot that i am, i left the outlet plugged in with the cable, so after that, my computer started randomly shutting off and turning on, but its not the usual black screen thing, windows LITERALLY says "shutting down.." as if the...

Hi all, I recently built my first pc and I made sure everything went in the right spot. I tried to power on my PC but the only thing that turned on was the LED lights on my MB. I tried resetting CMOS and a bunch of other things but got the same result. I noticed that the fans on my PSU wasn’t...

I know this question has been asked one too many times on Different platforms but I’m posting it again here in thoughts that someone might offer a new insight and get me out of my predicament. I have a PC that I’ve been using for more than 4 years now. It's an HP Z220 CMT Workstation that...

If PSU calculators say that my build needs 350w then recommends a 850w PSU i think it's a big headroom for my build my question is what is the actual PSU wattage needed for the build to work very fine and handle all power spikes ? Build: MB: Asus Prime H510m-k GPU: AMD Rx5600xt CPU...

I recently encountered a perplexing issue with my PC after installing a new power supply unit (PSU). Initially, the system seemed to run smoothly after some stress tests. However, after about an hour of operation, the fans (possibly the PSU fan) suddenly ramped up to full speed, creating an...

Hey everyone! Today i did something dumb, and im not sure what exactly has happened... I turned off the wrong breaker today and accidently turned off my computer room. When I turned it back on, my computer will not respond to the power button. Tested the PSU and everything works, but this...

I moved my computer back to my house today. It had previously been working perfectly fine. However, when I booted it up after moving it, there was a loud pop sound followed by the computer completely shutting off. The computer then rebooted itself and managed to fully load into Windows.

Hi everyone, I've been having a couple strange problems with my computer and need to get it sorted out. Specifically, there are three main issues that I can't seem to figure out: 1. My computer frequently tells me that there are "not enough USB controller resources" when plugging devices in or...

I'm gonna try my best to put everything on the table with all the "evidence" of my pc being a little funky. About a year ago, I upgraded my old 2019 prebuilt pc with a better CPU, (a Ryzen 3, 2300x to a 5600x) and a new GPU, (gtx 1650 to a rtx 3070.) Everything was great, with games and media...

So I tried to push my power cord into the wall outlet and saw electrical sparks. Then the cord came out and I put it back in but sparks came out again so I quickly took it out, but the power switch wasn't turned off. After switching to another wall outlet, this time with my switch off, I turned...

I was wondering if 320w platinum power supply will work for GTX 970 ??

I was just curious if i use my type c port or usb port to charge my phone while gaming, it will use 15W(5v * 3A). So, will that reduce the performance of CPU or GPU because instead of power being used by them, its being used to charge

So we're trying to come up with our own CNC device. We want to use these components: 3 x Nema 23 stepper motors (3V, 3A) 1 x Nema 17 stepper motor (3.6V, 1.2A) 4 x TB6600 driver controllers (takes in 9-42VDC, outputs 4A peak) Limit Switches Raspberry Pi 4 other components down the line I want...

A week or two ago my computer started dying out of nowhere while gaming. It's not any new games nor settings and it still happens after having upgraded my GPU driver. I've been testing and monitoring and it seems to happen when the GPU has been at 76-ish degrees (celsius) for a while, so I think...

I'm looking for suggestions on the quietest components to support a PC with the following constraints. Don't worry about cost, I'm just looking for the best technical info: CPU: i9-14900K Power: motherboard will be set to enforce stock limits: PL1 = PL2 = 253 W GPU: Nvidia RTX 4090 RAM: 192 GB...

Hello, Is my PSU good enough to support my current setup? Recently my computer has been getting Event ID 13 nvlddmkm and crashing in games often (usually once every 10-120 minutes or so). After looking into it, the error seems to be related to the graphics card drivers/the card itself...

I can't decide what to buy since I can't find a clear winner, please suggest some good 80 plus gold fully modular 1000w PSUs.

Hi there. I just got the above graphics card, and I'm having an issue with how to supply it with power. It has a 24-pin power supply, so that means 3 x 8-pin PCIe cable. Just not sure how to connect this to the PSU. Does this need to be connected to the PCIe 6-pin connection in the PSU? If so...

I got my wife a new PC secondhand (Inspiron 5675, I think - some swapped-in components) and it has occasional crashing issues. Once every week or two, it'll crash into a reboot, then crash two or three more times over the next few minutes, but then operate completely fine after that for another...

I got an rm22-308 and need a 2u power supply recommendation. I don't really have much experience with server components and don't recognize most of the brands, so i'm not really sure who is reliable. I prefer a redundant, but a single is acceptable. I need something 600 watts or more and am...

Hello guys, unfortunately, I have a few issues with my PC. About a week ago, after finishing my work, I set my pc to standby (write state to ram). Trying to turn it on again later yielded a black screen and the "RAM" debug-led being lit. Fans and hard-drives spin fine. I can confirm though that...
