[SOLVED] Black screen and fans stop spinning

[Lukasr0509]

My computer crashed. I got Black screen and fans stopped spinning. I tried restarting but i wouldn’t boot. I reset bios. By taking out motherboard battery (cmos) and that worked, so all was good, but then the same crash happend again. Borg crashes happend while gaming, so Im suspecting that it might be my 650 watt psu, since I have rtx 3070, 5600x, 9 fans and loads of peripheralss. But I’m not sure. Does anybody have a clue what could be happening?

at the moment Im not even able to boot.
I haven’t over overclocked anything.
It’s a corsair rm650x (about 3.5 years old)
I do gaming. I dont do video work or bit-minig

Ryzen 5 5600x
Asus prime x570-Pro
Gigabyte vision rtx 3070
Corsair vengeance rgb pro 2x8gb 3200mhz
Corsair rm650x (3.5 years old)

Update your post to include full, detailed system hardware specs and OS information.

Are you doing any over-clocking?

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition? Heavy use for gaming, video work, or even bit-mining?

Are you able to boot into Safe Mode without crashes?

Look in Reliability History: Any error codes or warnings that correspond with the crashes?

Yes. Someone may recognize or know of some specific problem related to the listed components.

Or, as I am currently thinking, the PSU is the potential culprit.

Two courses of action:

1) Take a close look at the load being imposed on your PSU. It is aging and likely becoming problematic.

Use two or three of the calculators offered in the following link from Tom's:

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-psus,4229.html

The present components in your build may be reaching or nearing some threshold power demand where the PSU can simply not keep up.

You can also do a manual wattage tally. If any component lists a wattage range - use the highest wattage. Once the watts are totaled - add 25% more.

How close is that final total to 650? Even if there is some margin available that may be moot if the PSU is nearing EOL (End of Life).

2) Do you have a multi-meter and know how to use it? Or know someone who does?

Not a full test as the PSU is not under load. However any voltages out of spec will be problematic.

Did you note any errors in Reliability History? You can also check Event Viewer but it is not as user friendly.

If it is the PSU, it has a 10 year warranty.
