System halts, connected devices cease receiving energy
I'm trying to figure out what's going on. The computer stops working but the fans continue to spin. The monitor signal disappears, and both the mouse and keyboard lights turn off afterward. It's quite frustrating, especially since it's running pretty well with the same PSU I used before. I bought this motherboard recently, hoping it wouldn't cause problems, but it seems to be the issue. The Event Viewer on Windows shows a Kernel Power error. Could it be related to the power supply unit or something else? I want to be sure. Before this model, my previous Haswell PC worked perfectly with that PSU. I've noticed all the peripherals lose power or signal, but the fans keep running until I press the restart button. It managed to reboot itself once, but after three attempts I had to do it manually.
You might have triggered this problem by performing a hard reset on your PC using the reset button. It could be related to the motherboard or power supply unit, so I’d start by inspecting the motherboard first since you mentioned it’s installed.
It didn’t work properly during web browsing sessions, especially when starting the desktop twice daily. After that, I spend long hours on the computer. Playing Dota 2, using Spotify and Firefox without any problems. Occasionally it crashes randomly.
Could the issue lie with your PSU? Having more details about it would help. Is your setup exceeding the power limits set by your PSU?
