[SOLVED] troubleshoot my problems

[Dhruvsharma051999]

Build :-
ryzen 7 1700
b450 pro carbon AC
3200 mhz 8x2 gb ram
Rx 580 8gb special edition
1tb HDD

the problem that i have is that when i try to run any games my screen goes black, theres a red light near my cpu and my pc is just BLANK, i have to press the reset button to get back, it happens only under stress test or while intensive gaming not during any usual day to day tasks

people are saying its my PSU (link given below)

https://www.amazon.in/CHIPTRONEX-GB650-Bronze-Gaming-Supply/dp/B07D2F2Y2R

All products were purchased on 1st of this month so nothing old used in this rig

hope i can figure this out

I agree with the suspicion that the PSU is the likely cause of your stability issues. I would return and replace that one with a better quality device like this one:

Agreed. That sounds like the PSU.

replacing or buying a new one is not an option as i have paid 60$ for it, it does say 650W why cant it power an rx 580 and a simple b450 motherboard

 

[COLGeek]

If it was a quality 650w PSU, then yes, it should be sufficient. However, that particular PSU is of VERY questionable quality.

These are classic PSU failure symptoms. Best advice I can give...replace the PSU with a better one. Sorry.

Also, check your CPU and GPU temps. If overclocking anything (CPU, GPU, memory), stop and revert to stock speeds. This could help lower the load on the PSU.

That you paid $60 for it does not make it a good PSU.

The symptoms you list, and that off brand power supply...lead to a probable case of "crappy power supply".
It does not matter that it has "650w" printed on the side.

Ouch! i just made this rig about half a month ago 🙁 looks like its just going to be surfing and no gaming, what a waste of nearly 1600$

 

[Dhruvsharma051999]

my temps both CPU and GPu do not cross 60 but still my PC reset's NO OC done ALL stock

No, not a waste of $1600.
A waste of $60, on that junk PSU.

 

[COLGeek]

All clues point to the PSU being the problem. That seems your only recourse at this point. Good luck.

 

[Dhruvsharma051999]

I purchased it beacause of the 80 plus certification and i didnt know even after getting that certificate they make crappy PSU

Unfortunately, that label is not really an indicator of quality. You are not the first (nor the last) to make such a purchase. Just save a few $$$ until you can replace.

i have my old psu sitting in that old rig can i somehow hook it up to make it work simultaneously ?

If not done properly, this can lead to multiple component failures/damage. Just be patient until you can replace.

 

[Dhruvsharma051999]

yes i know the dangers but is there any way, any links, any cheap products to make them work ?

That is almost certainly liable to make things worse.

See this thread. You have been advised on this.

Using two power supplies in one system?

Hi there, I was wondering how I would go about using two PSUs in one system (one for GPU only, another for all other components). How would I set that up? Also, yes, I know it's sketchy, and no, I can't do anything about it.

Could a faulty wall be a reason for this ?
I actually ran furmark and kombustor and every time they gave up in minutes but I took my rig to another room and ran it again to find out they each ran for 15mins and could run more but I ended them ?

I do have a faulty socket in the wall ( I switch on the fan and the PC restarts, turn on the lights does the same)

What do you guys think ?

 

[COLGeek]

This is definitely a power issue. Fire up your game and crank up the settings (via the alternate outlet) and see what happens.

 

[Dhruvsharma051999]

Ok I’ll test it on high and ultra from low and let you know

 

[Dhruvsharma051999]

I was able to play on high settings for about two hours straightaway without any hangs or resets ( didnt try ultra as PC was quite hot but im sure i could play ultra too) looks like my problem was the faulty socket in the wall.
