psu

Hi, My PSU went up in smoke. None of the connections look bad. Am I safe to plug a different PSU in, is there a chance the components caused an issue? thanks, Ed

Good day. To fully explain my situation, I have a problem with my PC where after a certain amount of time using it (usually after an hour), it would freeze with the buzzing sound from my speakers and my monitor would go to a black screen sending a "No Signal". Afterwards, my PC will still...

Greetings! My new home and local neighborhood has been expericing brown outs every few weeks. The power for my whole home will flicker off /on for a few seconds. It's not a big deal but the fleetingly temporary brown out is enough to power cycle my Linux PC and interrupt my workflow So in the...

Since this morning, my PC has been unable to power any of my peripherals for more than 3 seconds. I plug in my keyboard and it lights up for a moment and then goes dark. Nothing else lights up at all. My monitor is constantly reporting "No signal". Headset is silent (no beeping). Things I've...

Hey there. Having issues with my gaming setup. Recently I decided to upgrade the PSU from the Thermaltake 650w to a Corsair rm750e 80+ gold PSU due to the Corsair being higher quality. Ever since I installed the new Corsair PSU, I have had nothing but problems. The problem being one of my...

Hi everyone! I bought a GeForce RTX 3060 GPU to replace my old GeForce 1650, and any time I connect my 8-pin 6+2 pin to my computer and the PSU, nothing happens. If I leave the power supply connected to the GPU my computer is completely silent, no fans turn on, lights on the motherboard do not...

Says "System power fault triggered due to power surge detected during previous boot up to protect system from unstable PSU" in bios text before proceeding normally to windows. Is this something I have to be concerned about? Been happening since Oct 1st night Is this a PSU problem? I have the...

Hey!! I need some help with choosing a PSU for my system. (R5 5600, 16 gb ram). Im looking for a "budget" 750w PSU that I could buy with a rx 6800 which Im also saving some money to get. Also I gotta mention that I've followed the popular PSU tier list but I got all confused about which one...

It began with me turning on my PC and launching a program, which gave me a pop up telling me that the shortcut cannot locate its source file to launch. I checked disk management(I have one SSD and one HDD in my PC) and saw that the HDD was offline. Another pop up asked me to choose between MBR...

Hello, I have a HX1200 modular PSU that normally has a few HDDs plugged into a single SATA power cable. I recently attempted to plug in a 4tb SSD with another (aftermarket) SATA power cable, but it would cause the PSU to not turn on. Upon removing the SSD, the computer would power on but it...

Not long ago my power supply failed, and I got a new one (slightly more powerful than needed, as I want to upgrade to a B550 board and Zen 3 CPU soon). I also unplugged and removed everything - including the CPU and 3 SATA drives - so I could mount everything on a test bench for easy access...

Hi, recently my Wavlink WL-WN531G3 REV. A Router's power supply got fried and not working anymore. It's a P050W2000E power supply that was supplied with the router. Now i found a new power supply that's from a TP-LINK device, it says 50/60hz 0.3a and old one is 50/60hz 0.25a i also saw some...

The cable management I did was a little messy behind the case, i grabbed a cable very similar to PWM 4-pin connector that I thought are for the fans so i connected that into the motherboard chasis fan header (after disconnecting PSU Molex cable from the fans) without noticing that it is coming...

Hello, little question about PSU safety features. Choosing new PSU with bigger capacity I got a bit confused. My choices around pretty popular mid-range+ 850W\1000 variants, few examples: Seasonic FOCUS GX FOCUS GX-850 850W MSI MPG PCIE5 A850G PCIE5 850W MSI MAG PCIE5 A850GL 850W be quiet! Pure...

TLDR: My prebuilt came with a 500W PSU that is insufficient for my GPU/CPU, what 650W PSU's can I get that work with my motherboard and case? My prebuilt specs: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/omen-by-hp-obelisk-desktop-875-0035qe Longer context: I was having many puzzling problems with my...

Hey everyone. About 2 weeks ago, I bought a (barely) used PC set from FB Marketplace from a reputable and trusted builder who's a PC hobbyist. A week later of consistent use (video editing, gaming, and browsing) for more than 6-8 hours a day, I've been experiencing spontaneous reboots with no...

Never had an issue like this. Hubby's pc stopped turning on - turned off on it's own and though he just got a new PSU less then 3mo ago the logical thing to blame was the PSU. We on a whim turned it back on after cleaning it and sure enough it is working. However it has kept giving issues. I...

Hi. I recently bought a Corsair RM850X Shift from Amazon and installed it. I began noticing the coil whine. The coil whine is present at all times, even on games and on idle. View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EKc6FRZ8a2M View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7nzkxhh8NWw View...

I have EVGA GD 700w GOLD PSU and it's making a buzzing sound. Idk if it's from a dusty fan or a coil whine or maybe the fan is hitting something. Pls help.

A sound that does not appear until I bring my ear close to the motherboard of the computer and almost towards or inside the psu (alimentation). Sometimes the sound seems to come from the processor side, but when I approach the PSU I hear it very clearly. A continuous sound like a pithy beep ...

Hi guys, I recently brought a new PSU (Cooler master white 750w) and attempted to install into my working PC, as soon as I attempted to boot it shorted a few seconds after I got onto the windows screen. I assumed I had been given a faulty psu so I reinstalled the old one and I'm now having the...

For 2 weeks now I have had this problem that appeared after the PC froze (it has happened to me many times) that forced me to force it to shut down. When monitoring the performance values with MSI Afterburner it gives me normal readings (80-90 in demanding games) but it feels almost half of...

Hey everyone, I am having some problems with my PC where it keeps restarting on its own and I think its the power supply being damaged from common power outages and fluctuating voltages in my country. There aren't many options available when it comes to power supplies either but I have found...

Probably goes without saying that this unit needs to be upgraded. What I'm asking right now though, is there any immediate cause for concern? System seems to run fine, temps are fine. That fan is loud. Earlier today, we had a brief power outage from a bad storm and when my wife turned her PC...

Hello internet! I'm in the process of upgrading my PC's motherboard, processor and RAM. Specifically, my new mobo is here, and my PSU is here. PSU is circa 10 years old. Unfortunately, being so old, I threw out all of the spare leads for the PSU a while back. So my question is, will a single...

So I would like to know does molex riser pcie consume power only from 12v and 5 v is for show or does it use /need/require both to be plugged in? I intend to retrofit a very expensive Silverstone modular 1300R PSU who's voltage has weakened on 5v compartment but 12v is perfect. The PSU will be...

Hello, I've a Corsair RM850 psu. By mistake, I used the CPU power cable to connect to GPU's power connector. As soon as I turned the PC on, there was a short circuit (with a pop sound) in the PSU. So now the pc is not starting. Has the PSU completely died, or is it reparable? Would it be...

Hi, Recently bought an MSI MAG 850GL PSU and it comes with a power cord of 16A/250v. But I don't have a provision to plug the pin as it is very large. So I used my older PSU's power cord from a Cooler Master MWE 650 which came with 6A/240v power cord. Is it ok to use this power cord for a long...
