power supply

I'm getting random buzzing sounds coming from my PC. It goes in and out at random and doesn't seem to be affected when my system is under load (such as heavy gaming). I have replaced both my power supply and case fans as they seemed like the most obvious culprits, but the noise has persisted...

Is it okay? I currently use a 250w power supply that came bundled with the case and I'd like to replace it with one that's bigger (at least 400w). I found some stores online that sell used power supplies for cheap (around 20 dollars in my currency). Many are 80 plus certified, some just white...

What Happened? Yesterday, It was a normal day of using my PC. Considering it has been working for few months no issue, I thought there would be nothing wrong. I turned on my PC and all the RGB all light up for about 2-3 seconds - Then I saw sparks and heard a loud bang coming from the PSU. Then...

There's been frequent power outages in my area. I was wondering what UPS I should get if I just need enough time for me to save my work. About 5-10 minutes should be fine. My computer specs: CPU: i3-1200F Mobo: Biostar H610MH GPU: RTX 3060 RAM: 16gb 3200Mhz PSU: FSP HV Pro 85+ 650W Monitor: AOC...

Extremely important edit: All models of the Toughpower GF3 come with this cable, as per HardwareBusters: I'm very confused, that pin just doesn't actually seem to fit in any of the two CPU power connectors. Hey, I'm in a bit of a stump, I've never seen this before. My two CPU cables have the...

My PC often refuses to boot post shutdown or sleep. No motherboard lights nothing. To circumvent this problem, I just leave the PC on for weeks, months on end. But that obviously isn't sustainable. When this issue does occur, I usually just wait around 12-24 hours and the PC boots when I try...

So I recently upgraded my office computer's power supply, and now when I put all of the cables back, the computer fans (CPU, GPU, and exhaust fan) spin for a second when I hit the power button, but stop and nothing happens. However the power supply light is on. Pressing the power button again...
