I have tested this on a number of motherboards and with different power supplies, so I’m confident that it’s an issue with the gpu itself. I have been building computers for well over 10yrs and have never seen this issue before, nor can I find anyone else posting experience of it online. I’m...

My PC is about 6 years old, and this morning when I came to turn it on as usual it didn't get any power at all, the fans didn't even spin.

Hello, I recently made the mistake of leaving a window behind my tower open while I was out; during this time, a huge rain storm passed through that likely got into the tower onto the power supply and/or cpu. The computer was also in sleep mode during this. Upon returning, I inspected the tower...

Every now and then upon turning on my PC, the PSU, GAMDIAS ASTRAPE M1-750B, makes a buzzing sound, but still powers up as usual. I've confirmed that the sound is in fact coming from the PSU. I haven't let it do that for long though, being afraid that something might be damaged in the process...
