Can the power supply unit start failing soon?
Can the power supply unit start failing soon?
Hello I would like to ask, if its possible to PSU slowly going to die. Now let me explain why i guess. My PC Specs : CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (OC to 5.2GHz) CPU Cooler : Arctic Liquid Freezer Pro - 360 RAM : 4x48 GB RAM - Kingston Fury ( all 4 sticks ), 6000 MHz, CL30 MB : ASUS Crosshair X870E Hero PSU : Corsair RM1000x ( 3 months old, was factsory new ) SSD : 1x Samsung 2TB 9100 Pro, 1x Samsung 4TB 990 Pro GPU : Gainward GeForce 5070 Ti Phoenix ( not even 14 days old ) Problem started 2 days ago. I am just chillin and playing Path of Exile, which there was suddenly BSOD without any warning or any reason. I told myself, okay [Mod edit to remove profanity. Remember that this is a family friendly Forum.] happens. Its maybe because of game. So i started play again POE - now it was reboot PC after a while of playing. So this kinda sounds suspicious. So i tried some benchmarks (3D Mark, Unigine SuperPosition) and everything was OK. So i tried CPU test (OCCT - CPU test), Cinebench 15 & 23 - everything ok. Temperatures was also ok on GPU and CPU. But... There comes the mystery. When i tried hardly using system, or hardcore Power test in OCCT - It takes about 600W (CPU+GPU), and from this situation there is always freezee and i must do a hard reset. Problem is its sometimes it freezee at 30s, sometimes after 2 minutes, but still same scenario. What i tried at all. 1) Reinstall chipset AMD drivers 2) ADD voltage to CPU (tried default - same result) 3) Update BIOS to the latest one ( 1512 ) 4) Underclock and power limit on GPU on lowest possible (power limit) 5) Check if there is something with SSDs, they are perfectly working. 6) Tried Memtest (all 4 pass), OCCT - MEM, and CPU+MEM no errors 7) Tried other game if situation occurs again. It not happens, but i am not gonna blame Path of Exile, because of Power Test in OCCT is a proof - where something is dying or almost dead. I really think there is a PSU suspicious component, which is going slowly to die or its just mine feeling and it could be something else? I cannot try the PSU on other PC, because other PC is low-end without power usage more than 250-300w at nax, I do not have other PSU to test in my PC, if its OK or no. There is no crackling or some kind of sounds from PSU. I am lost, do you have any ideas how to resolve this annonying and little dangerous situation?? If its PSU i can buy other, but i am not sure if it is the reason of hard freezee in test. Thanks for your tips.
Check Reliability History or Monitor to see what error, warning, or message is happening right before the blue screen stops working. = = = = Power off your computer, unplug it from the wall, and open up the case. Take out all dust and dirt. Look around with good eyes and feel around to make sure every plug, card, stick in memory, wire, and screw are fully held tight. Shine a light on everything so you can see if anything is broken or dirty.
I don't want you to worry, but I've got a clean PC probably it's fine if the plugs are screwed tight or not broken. But this started just two days ago so I didn't move the computer so nothing could unplug or break. Another guess is that maybe the power supply on the rails is dead and can't feed the CPU or GPU properly? ( on the GPU i am using a splitter 2x8 to 1x16VHPWR because that one from Corsair is weak, means too much soft and it bends easily.)
