When I powered the PC on, it emitted an unusual noise during startup, and the RGB lights displayed erratic flickering as if fighting to activate. Eventually, it turned on fully. After turning it off and back on twice to check for recurrence, the issue ceased. Could this be a hardware fault or just a software glitch?

A video or recording of the audio can aid in pinpointing the problem more accurately. It could indicate that the power supply unit is failing.

I wish I could preserve such a moment. My PSU is brand new with an XPG core reactor II. I tried shutting it down and restarting it twice to see if it would work again, but it didn’t. I can’t even capture the sound now. I’m really concerned something serious might be happening.

Seems like the power supply is not working properly.
