XFX TS650W PSU 80+ Bronze.

I'm not sure if it is the PSU/CPU or the TS series, but whenever I power off my computer from Windows, my Tower would stay on. I have to flip it on its side for it to turn off. I also noticed that the slightest touch against the 24-pin connectors wires would turn on the entire system.

So do i essentially have a faulty power supply or is it the TS650W series?

I got it from Amazon as it came instead of the XFX PRO650W.

Make sure your motherboard connectors are fully on (while power off of course)

Yea, all connectors are on fully on. I just find it strange really, that a simple touch to the PSUs wire would power on the entire system without actually turning on the monitor itself

Must be some type of short , that shouldn't happen.

You need to inspect all connections carefully.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

It's either a bad power supply or a bad connection on the board.

Yea, I think it is the PSU, i'll install a new one tomorrow and see if it works

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I hope that solves it , keep us posted.

Alright I changed it, and it appears to be turning off when the tower is vertical for now. It was probably a faulty wire in the PSU or something

Never mind, the problem is back but it is even more weird now because the PSU would stil power on unless I put pressure onto the Tower. Any slight movement would also turn on the PSU. Would this happen if the MoBo wasn't screwed kn tightly? I have an Asus Z97-A.
