power supply

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...

I'm building my first pc and I'm at the stage where I plug everything into the power supply. The problem is I don't know which cables I need to use since my power supply is fully modular (hx1000). People tell me to just plug in all the cables, plug in everything that needs to be plugged in, and...

I've attached a short video to demonstrate the sound I'm hearing View: https://imgur.com/a/UMNWBTM This is a closer video View: https://imgur.com/a/IvNEr1m it shows the fan somewhat slowing when the noise occurs Fairly certain at this point the noise is coming from the PSU. The noise only...

In the past week I've noticed that my power supply sometimes does not come on. I juggle the spot where the plug is in the back of the cpu and that seems to wake it up. But I have a feeling I need to replace it. But with what? Here is my current pc setup: Intel Core i7-10700K Comet Lake...

I’m completely stumped with my new power supply, it’s the be quiet dark power 12 850w titanium and I can’t figure out the power cables. I’m guessing the mother board is the 20+8 pin that goes to a 24 as that’s the same as old power supply. However I can’t figure out the cpu, on my old power...

Over the past week, my friend's pc has been having the same problem multiple times a day where the screen will freeze and then all usb ports will disconnect, and he found the only way to fix it was to turn the power supply off and on again. Today, it happened again and he thought it might be the...

Hello yall, I recently purchased a DIYPC Vanguard case which uses a four pin power connector to power the four integrated fans. It would appear that there are no available inputs on the PSU, and even if there were, it does not appear that the connector would fit being that the shroud is solid...

Good morning, So my PSU EVGA 750 watt Bronze had been failing for a little while. I probably continued to use it for a month as it started to make a grinding noise under high load, but eventually would calm down. Once it started to make the noise consistently I replaced it with an EVGA Gold 750...

Power Supply: 850W Unbreakable Power Supply: 700W System Wattage Usage: 400W These numbers are just an example, but the takeaway is: UPS capacity is lower than the PSU capacity, and the System usage is lower than both. What would happen if the lights went out and the system had to run through...

I just built a brand new PC, Windows freshly installed and upon starting a very demanding game like Star Citizen, it just abruptly shuts off, no errors or blue screens and then it will reboot itself shortly after. I was watching the CPU temps when it happened and at most I saw it hit the 80s...

I don't know which power supply to choose, i read some reviews saying that the Silverstone st50f is good, it's a little bit cheaper than the cv450, but Corsair seems like a reliable brand, I'm having trouble choosing since i want to save some money. I'm planning to buy an i5-3570, gtx 750 ti...
