I removed all components from my Corsair VS550. It was fed by a capable UPS. Then I turned on the PSU by shorting wires. Then I switched off the power. Ideally the UPS should still supply an unloaded PSU, right? But that doesn't happen, the UPS just turns off. So every time there is a power outage even for just a second, the UPS just turns off. I suspect this could do a lot of harm to the system.
The UPS works fine under heavy load and not only that but also tested with another UPS which also just turns off. So I understand that the problem is not with my UPS but with my PSU!
I want to know how this happens. If you could point me to some threads r even just tell me what this phenomenon is called, I can google my way out of this.
If anybody has any insight on how this could be rectified, it would be highly appreciated!
None of the products are covered under warranty with the power supply being over 4 years old.
