I have a 1300w PSU that frequently shuts down?
I have a 1300w PSU that frequently shuts down?
I owned a 1050w power supply that would intermittently shut down. It sometimes worked fine, other times it would cut out completely. After switching to a 1300w PSU, the same issue persisted. Any advice?
What is the brand and model of the PSU?
What is the brand and model of the RAM, and what determined the choice of 4x16GB instead of 2x32GB?
Should I test with two sticks in A2 and B12?
Is the motherboard BIOS completely up to date?
Intermittent issues are often hard to locate and identify.
Examine Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer.
One or both tools might record error codes, warnings, or informational events just before or during shutdowns.

Also:
Power down, unplug, and open the case.
Thoroughly remove dust and debris. Inspect plugs, ports, and slots.
Confirm that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are securely positioned.
Use a bright flashlight to check for damage signs: exposed conductors, melted insulation, twisted or pinched wires, discoloration, liquids, corrosion, loose or missing screens, cracks, sagging supports, etc.
Focus especially on the I/O panel area.
Also, inspect the wall outlet. A faulty electrical connection inside it could be the cause. (Assuming you used the power cable with the new PSU.)
What other devices are connected to the wall outlet?
Are there power strips or surge protectors? They can also contribute to problems.
The goal is to reduce possibilities either directly or through elimination.
