How old is it? The RMx are EXCELLENT PSUs, so I'd be surprised if you're having lots of problems with it.
What problems are you having?

its brand new 2018 version, but for some reason (might be my dumb ass) it freezes on boot, funny thing is EXACT same setup but with my 6 years old 550w psu it runs just fine into boot, installs OS etc. so i just figured it was the psu? again i dont know s*** so... yeah

So without fail, if you install the RMx you can't boot, but if you install the old one, it does boot? Have you retested this just to ensure everything was connected up properly?

Were you using the modular cables that came with the RMx?

Try what PC Tailor says above, and then if the PSU is still faulty send it to Corsair for a replacement.

if money ist not a issue be quiet dark power pro 850 w platinum. Or get Seasonic gold rated 850 w.

All cables out of rm850x box, i got an rma on this and got a brand new rm850x, with this (original cables) EXACT same problem at the EXACT same part of the windows/motherboard logo screen, all cables made sure to be connected properly, i have probably switched between 850 and 550 about 10 times, with the 550 being all good, except not being able to power/run(?) my h150i rgb aio.

Then RMA the PSU. Corsair will send you out a replacement.

you think its the psu and not me being faulty?

The system should work with the RMx. If it works with another PSU the chances are the RMx is faulty.
