Hi there, I’m looking for some advice. My PC setup has been smooth until recently. Last week it was fine, but now even on Sunday I faced problems while gaming. It includes a CX650W PSU, RTX 3060Ti, Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB RAM, three SSDs, fans, and a cooler. I’m using an Amaron 875VA UPS with a 150Ah battery. Previously, during outages I could play games without issues. Now pressing the power button on the cabinet causes the whole house to trip, and the overload switch behind the inverter shuts off. I tried starting the PC directly from the wall outlet (around the UPS), and it worked. They said the inverter might be bad, but a local shop checked it and said everything is fine—even with lights, fans, and TVs. The problem only appears when I try to power on the PC. Have anyone had similar experiences? Any ideas would help!

Hello, I see you're experiencing some issues with your power supply unit. It seems like the PSU might be showing signs of failure despite the upgrades. The power trips occur whenever you press the power button in your cabinet, even though connecting it directly to the main electrical line works fine. Three electricians have visited your home and couldn't find any physical problems, but they suspect an issue with the PC. It could be worth checking the wiring or circuit connections further.
