Instant random power cuts
Instant random power cuts
Here’s a clearer version of your account:
I’ve been dealing with this issue for about two months, trying different solutions. I’m going to explain it step by step so it’s easier to understand. The problem started with random shutdowns and power cuts, followed by a clicking sound from the PSU after a brief blackout. This happened even though everything worked perfectly for six months before.
I changed my PSU to a 12900kf model, but it still experienced those sudden shutdowns. Some people suggested replacing it entirely. I tried swapping out the RAM modules and using different power connectors and slots. The cooler performance was better, and removing some storage helped reduce the issue. However, I’m still seeing these interruptions.
I also removed the case and moved the components outside, but the problem persisted across multiple circuits and outlets in my apartment. It even happened at a friend’s place in another building.
What I’ve noticed is that the ground pads on both motherboards seem damaged. It makes me wonder if the system is already failing. My 10900kf model seems to shut down more quickly, while the 12900kf needs some tweaks in BIOS settings. Overall, it’s an unstable setup—especially with the lack of a solid motherboard.
I mentioned in the comment that the device works without the case, but it keeps happening. The hardware was fine a few weeks back. Both units are now facing the same problem.
