I have been experiencing persistent issues with my PC that seem to be related to power supply and UPS overload. Here’s a detailed account of the problem:
The issue began while I was playing sons of the forest on max settings. After approximately 4-5 hours of gameplay, my UPS emitted a continuous sound, which I later realized indicated overloading.
Shortly after the sound began, my PC started restarting every 20-30 minutes until it eventually shut down. Despite setting the HDD turn-off option to 0 in power plan settings, the problem persisted.
I left the PC off for about an hour. When attempting to power it on again, it did not start. However, the next morning, the PC powered on successfully and ran normally for 2-3 days under minimal load, with no further issues from the UPS.
Recent Incident: While playing stray on max settings, the UPS once again beeping. After the noise started, I checked the temperature, usage, and power draw of the CPU and GPU, all of which were within normal ranges. Despite this, the PC did not turn on after shutting it down. I verified that all connections were secure.
Then I tried plugging the PC directly and it still did not turn on. So I let it be and tried turning it on again after 3/4 hours and my pc turned on both with/ without ups. Now after shutting it down, it doesn't turn on immediately, rather after 1/2 hours and sometimes it just doesn't.
note : the mobo's RGB lighting and the wired keyboard received power throughout this period, both today and the the day of the first incident. The reason I mentioned the games is that my PC didn't react this way the other times I played them. I did play valorant in between the incidents and it ran just fine.
what could be the issue and how should I attempt to fix it?
