Faulty PSU?
Faulty PSU?
Hi guys
I have a seasonic SII-550W 80+bronze(2021), about 3 months ago it started to do random reboots, in event viewer showing kernel power 41. I switched the PSU from another pc, everything works fine with xmp on/off, but if I run xmp on my psu the reboot comes back. Initially i thought it was a ram problem, ran memtest 86 and i found out that one of my ram sticks were bad, but even so the reboots continue with the xmp on/off, the moment i set the ram at 3000mhz it restarts, but if I let the ram run an maybe 2933 or base speed 2133 everythings alright. I think the problem here is the psu, i don't think it's the ram
What do you guys think?
41 will appear during any unexpected shutdown, not only when the power supply is faulty.
Check Event Viewer for additional event IDs; I anticipate seeing entries related to the higher RAM speed issue.
Provide the full specifications of this system.
If this is a Ryzen system 2933 has history of being more stable than 3000.
The full specifications are as follows:
Amd Ryzen 5 3600-3.6ghz
1650 4gb
16gb ram ddr4 3000 (8gb at 3000 atm)
One m2 and one sata(both kingston)
The event viewer doesn't display any other errors, but I believe the issue is with the power supply since when I swapped my PSU to another PC, that system also had the same problem.
After acquiring the PC, I started it at 3000 MHz until I realized my old CPU (Ryzen 5 2400G) couldn't handle that speed. It continued running in that mode until I swapped it out. In July, I stayed away for about two weeks because I was out of town, and when I returned, the issues gradually appeared. There were no major performance problems—just frequent restarts, crashes, and BSODs indicating corrupted files. The BSOD was the main sign that something was seriously wrong.
