PSU Keeps dying
PSU Keeps dying
Hi.
I recently relocated and after some adjustments, the PC functioned perfectly initially. I performed multiple tests and played several games without issues. However, the following day when I powered it on, a spark was heard and it failed to start. After inspecting each PSU individually, I discovered it was damaged. I returned it and tried again with a new one (same model), but the problem persisted. The first day was smooth, yet the next morning it stopped working entirely. I’m unsure what’s causing this.
It could be an electrical issue, but I should mention that it’s connected to KOOSLA - Regleta para sobretensiones (4000 W/16 A), a USB 6-port power supply with 12 outlets and 3 switches, a 2-meter cable in black. Amazon.es lists it on Electrónica.
Please let me know if you can assist.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Consider connecting your PC to a dedicated wall outlet with proper grounding, then check if the problem continues. It’s unlikely you’ll encounter faulty Seasonic units from the factory. You might verify this by testing another well-made, reliable 1KW unit.
The most unusual occurrence is that something appears to happen during my sleep, as both items were affected the following day. There have been no power outages or issues with other electrical devices, so I’m considering purchasing a PSU to check this out.
or it occurs when you switch it off? PSU's can be costly. If you know any electricians, have your outlet and wiring inspected to ensure there are no issues in your home wiring that might cause power surges or similar problems. If that's acceptable, take it to a PC shop for fault-finding. Don't want to damage any more PSUs just for testing.
