Hi, I'm looking into which tools are best for stress testing your PSU, since you're noticing random shutdowns and freezes lately.

If you have any concerns about your PSU, I wouldn't want to risk damaging it further. If it's failing, it could cause all connected components to fail if it stops working. Replace it with a new unit immediately and have a certified electrician test it.

If you have any concerns about your PSU, I definitely wouldn't want to put unnecessary strain on it, since if it fails, it could cause all the connected parts to malfunction. Replace it with a high-quality unit immediately. Additionally, consider having it checked by a professional electrician.

I wouldn't bother testing it after replacing it, what's the point? - just bin it.

Phillip Corcoran would not bother testing it again after replacing it, since the purpose would be lost. Good thought, Phillip. I’m just someone who wants to understand why things are going wrong, for learning and experience.

It's a PSU model, and I'm also using other components like the monitor and keyboard.
