sure sure, my bad for not having my friends PC specs memorized. still didn't help me at all...why bother responding?
The voltage in the U.S. is typically 110/115, but it seems it was configured incorrectly. Using the switch set to 220 shouldn't harm it, though if this has been the case for some time, it might stop working temporarily before resuming. I remember in the '90s we often worried about turning off servers that had been running continuously for years without interruption. There was always a risk the power supply unit would fail when restarted.
It's worth noting, if this situation arises, you should still be able to turn on the PC. The fans, GPU cooling, and RGB effects will remain operational. You can also let him know it's set to 115 right away.
That unit is really problematic. Based on your description, it seems like a typical problem with that type of PSU—it just stopped working suddenly. It will still provide backup power, but it won’t let the device start properly.
