Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I have been running a custom build desktop for around 3 years solidly, I use it roughly 4-5 hours a day and mainly for watching videos online, some light gaming here and there and at one point used it to edit a film, but that was a one off.
The machine has been running fine; however, a couple of days ago I turned on the machine and the desktop would turn on and then after around a second turn off. It would then by itself turn on again after a few seconds, only to turn off again once more, and so on.
The builds as follows:
CPU
Intel - Core i7-4790K 4 GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler
CRYORIG - H7 49 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard
Asus - Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory
Kingston - HyperX Fury White 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage
Crucial - BX200 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Video Card
Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 960 4 GB Video Card
Case
Fractal Design - Define R4 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power
EVGA Supernova 550 W Gs Gold 80+ Modular Power Supply Unit
I have a ASUS VC239H 23 Inch Monitor, FHD (1920 x 1080), IPS, Frameless, Flicker Free, Low Blue Light, TUV Certified monitor and a standard USB mouse and USB keyboard, nothing fancy. Also I have a wifi USB receiver and a bluetooth receiver plugged via USB for a separate keyboard and mouse combo.
I have been in contact with EVGA, the PSU manufactures, and they have offered for me to send back the PSU to check the thing and if needs be repair it. I was just thinking I may be jumping the gun?
Checking online there are potentially many reasons, but in your collective experience would you suspect it is a PSU issue or is there usually another culprit? Additionally, is there any way to test which component it may be?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and in advance if you respond with advice
