My PSU produce an electrical noise when I tried to turn on my PC, the noise will not gone even my PC is off. I need to turn off my psu (using switch on the PSU) and turn it on back to completely remove the noise, but when I tried to turn on my PC, the noise come back again. First, I don't really care about the noise, but after a few days of usage, I can't turn on my PC, so I turn off my PSU and wait a minute then turn it on again (the noise gone since i turned my psu off). When i tried to run my PC, my PC won't start instead the noise come back. So, decided to RMA it again, but I got the same issue again and this is the third time. First, they don't produce a noise but after 2 days usage, they started to make this noise and i can't turned on my PC, sometimes i can turn my PC but I need to turn off the psu for 6 hours or more then turn it on. Are there any solutions for this? I am already tired to RMA this thing and got the same results. Thank you

My PSU is Muscle Power Thor 760
 
Solution
If the Xigmatek unit works then it's 100% the fault of the Muscle PSU. So yeah, basically it sounds like they keep sending you a unit with problems, probably the same one. When they get it it probably actually works for them the first time (like you said it works once in a while, when it's off for a long time) so they probably think, "This kid doesn't know what he's doing, the unit is find. Just send the same one back."
