Question System boot-loops after crash with no display ?

[Dadrian Daedalus]

Today after i started my pc,it booted into windows normally,then when it was at the desktop it suddenly crashed and restarted.

When it attempted to restart there was no display-i turned it off and then back on a few times manually but to no avail(had to use the psu switch for turning it off as it doesn't switch off when i use the power button on the case).

After a few tries when i started it again,it turned on and then immediately back off and this went on and on so i turned the pc off via the power switch on the psu.Since then whenever i switch the computer on,it bootloops in this manner (ie turns on and off repeatedly),much to my frustration.

Something similar had happened a month or two ago(ie the bootlooping but in that instance there was no system crash) but it went away on its own after a while and so i wasn't too bothered by it at the time.

What could be causing the issue, is it the PSU ?

I have observed that this issue tends to crop up whenever the system is switched on after a span of 4-5 days,which is really weird.

Here are the specs for reference:

Asus ROG Strix B365-G
i5-9400f
Zotac 3060 Ti
8*2 corsair ddr4,
Corsair T-XM 750

The PSU was bought in 2020 - - - should i send it for RMA?

Sure, you can contact Corsair, describe your issue and RMA the PSU if Corsair rep thinks the PSU would be the issue. (It could be.)

TXm, for the most part, is good quality PSU but there are so many iterations of TXm series, from different OEMs, that it's hard to tell which iteration you'd get. Due to that reason, i don't suggest TX/TXm to anyone. Instead, i suggest getting RM/RMe/RMi/RMx. Or Seasonic Focus.

The txm 750 that i have is the grey label version with hexagonal grille.

So far it seems likely that the psu is the culprit,therefore i have contacted corsair regarding RMA-now i am awaiting their reply to my email.

If so, then you have Great Wall version. There's one newer version from yours, also by Great Wall,

While there are 2 older TXm 750 versions, one from CWT, another from Chicony.

Corsair has instructed me to submit the psu to the nearest service station for RMA.Today i spoke to the service center guy on the phone and upon saying that i have a txm psu,he mentioned that those are no longer in production and have been discontinued by Corsair.
Is it really So? Are txm power supplies no longer being sold these days?if yes,then i wonder what psu will they provide me as a replacement for the one that i currently have.

Yeah this is the one i am having issues with at the moment :

I didn't know that there was a newer variant of this with the triangular grille-it appears to be a new redesign and looks quite different from the older version.

Like i said, there are 4 iterations of TXm750. Yours is 3rd one in the line, with initial release year of 2017.
Also, yours is currently discontinued, and is replaced by newer version of TXm, released in 2022.

Since all TMx PSUs are semi-modular, it won't see much sales nowadays, especially since fully-modular PSUs are far convenient to install and are also reasonably priced (e.g Seasonic Focus or Corsair RM lineup). So, no point to pay same amount of money, for bigger headache during PSU installation.

if yes,then i wonder what psu will they provide me as a replacement for the one that i currently have.

Probably the latest TXm Corsair is currently offering.
