On November 4th, I attempted to power on my PC but it was unresponsive. I tried changing the power cable and outlet, yet nothing worked. I replaced my 650W Bronze power supply from 2018 with a Corsair RM750e model, which resolved the issue. After Thanksgiving, I returned home and restarted my PC; it began functioning normally. However, after 15 minutes it popped and shut down again. It eventually started up once more but kept sputtering and turning off. Eventually I disabled the power supply switch. I’m wondering if I’m dealing with a faulty unit, especially since the previous one failed a few weeks ago. I’m writing this for two reasons: to confirm my suspicion about the new PSU and to ask whether I should send it back to Amazon or reach out to Corsair. Interestingly, this purchase was my first time consulting a professional review. It seems even top brands can occasionally deliver problems.
