Your system experiences brief fan stoppages followed by power cycles, occurring roughly every 20-30 minutes. A red LED lights up on the motherboard and then turns off. You've checked all fan connections and power cables. Possible causes to investigate include a failing power supply unit or internal PSU issues. Consider testing the PSU with another power source or consulting a technician for further diagnosis.
Which indicator lights illuminate on the motherboard? Are there any specific ones like the DRAM light?
The fans are linked through the system and powered by the motherboard. You have a single fan connected directly, not multiple per connector. The power draw is under 0.5A. Clarify the exact fan model if you need more details.
I struggle to identify which lights are visible due to their rapid flashing. I notice the light pulses for about half a second each time it resets. For the fans, all are connected via separate headers on the MB unit—three or four pin connectors. I have an AMD stealth cooler fan, two 80mm case fans (included with the CM Evo Cube), and one 120mm Arctic P-12 fan. The windows are stable and running Topaz Video AI without any problems. This issue isn’t affecting operations. Added the PSU to the listed specifications. Thank you. Edited October 3, 2023 by JQ813
It should suffice for that CPU unless your room temperature is extremely high. As per your motherboard's guide, it only displays debug or decorative lights, possibly a few extra ones. Don’t worry about figuring out which light activates your system; it’s unlikely to cause problems. If the power supply entered overcurrent protection, it would likely shut down and restart. Assuming that 750W is sufficient for your setup, removing a fan could affect performance. Check if powering down one fan header resolves the issue—if the motherboard loses power there, unplugging it might help. Verify in BIOS that the pump header is set as a fan for speed control. Your board’s BIOS includes a fan settings area; review your curves and adjust if needed. If problems persist, consider updating Armoury Crate or trying a different PSU. In the meantime, a brief fan shutdown won’t impact cooling much. If you can’t identify the cause, flashing a new BIOS version might assist. Since fans are managed by BIOS, this could be helpful. You’re welcome!
Thank you for the update. The room temperature averages around 77 degrees. The Arctic fan is connected to the fan header beside the pump header. I just turned it off when the system reset again. I’ll check again today while sitting near it. I didn’t resolve the issue by unplugging it, as I don’t use Armoury Crate. Topaz is handling a series of conversions and will be working on this for a few days. If the problem persists, I’ll adjust the BIO settings and test next weekend.
I observed my Topaz files being processed, but they were extremely long—around 88 hours—and tracking failed. I stopped the system and checked the BIOS settings for the fans. I examined the board to confirm the fan assignments and found that the 4-pin of the 24-pin connector wasn’t properly seated. After re-seating it correctly, I proceeded with further tests. I’ll inform you whether this was the root cause or if I missed reconnecting earlier during my initial troubleshooting.
