PSU - Should I change it ?

[greenlightero]

Hello everyone,

I builded my pc myself from regarding the opinion of many people on TomsHardware,
But I have this issue since I builded it and I have more money to maybe solve it.

Here is my situation :
Everytime I open my computer for the first time of the day, its always get stuck on bios.
When my pc goes a sleep. And I open it again, there is no more internet...

Regarding the stuck in bios, I read that maybe my psu is not powerfull enough to support fans and all that, so its stucks on bio since not enough energy to run it normaly. When I restart, everything goes well, but still, I always need to restart my pc. Do you have any idea if its really the psu or something else bugging ?

For the internet connection, I guess I have to disable the pc to goes in sleep, anyone already had this issue ?

Please let me know,

Here is the build I made : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/7QMVTB

Thank you again Tomshardware team! Very appreciated!

Yeah, that PSU is a POS and you over paid for it if that's what you paid.

This one is MUCH better quality and what you really need.

Although it's not a very good PSU , it should be more than enough in terms of power. I would replace it with a decent one.

Is the ethernet controller shutting off during sleep?
Yes , I would check the power option settings for it.

Sorry But there was a mistake....

My powersupply was changed regarding this part list, because someone told me it was not good!
The person told me to buy this one, and I did, : Seosonic 550FM - Focus Gold 80 Plus (Cost me around 80$CAD)

Sorry everyone..

I will change my network setting/pc setting for the internet.
My ethernet cable is always connected, its only when py PC goes into sleep, that when I start it back, no more internet, what ever I do, I need to restart it so it works.

Again thank you and sorry for the mistake, I forgot I had to change it because I initially choosed the baddest psu lol.
