PC specifications: Processor AMD FX 8120 125w with Thermaltake Contac 21 air cooler. RAM Corsair vengeance DDR3 2x4 GB. Motherboard Asus 970 PRO Gaming/AURA. Storage 1x Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 80GB. Graphics Card Zotac Nvidia GTX 1650. Power Supply Corsair TX750M. Greetings, I need help—my computer shuts down unexpectedly (BIOS, Windows 11 or earlier, before BIOS), similar to overheating but CPU temp stays below 50°C. Occasionally it works fine. Tried booting without HDD and graphics card connected. Swapped power button, cleaned entire PC, reconnected wires, replaced PSU cable. VID_20240208_164315.mp4

Take out the bios cmos battery, reinstall it, then attempt a different psu.

Initially, everyone seems to mess things up. I’d have suggested removing the panel, but let’s just say I wouldn’t have mentioned taking it off.

The POST cycle is malfunctioning (lol). Likely a simple issue like hitting the leads with an ohm resistor. Check the positive and negative connections to see if adjusting them resolves the problem.

I attempted to disconnect the power cord from the PSU, removed the CMOS battery, and kept the power switch on the case for half a minute. Then I swapped in a fresh CMOS battery.

Your device might not start properly or shut down without warning, which could indicate a failing power source. Occasionally, unexpected power cuts are another possible cause.

I attempted to remove each wire individually from the motherboard but the issue persisted. After replacing the motherboard, the same problem continued. It seems the problem lies with the power supply unit. I hope Corsair offers repairs outside of warranty.

I aimed to stand out with a 1500w power supply, but they shouldn’t complain about an RMA since it comes with a ten-year warranty. I haven’t opened it yet, so maybe I’ll get a slightly smaller revision. What I really need is just a bit more space—about half an inch—to fit my 140mm x 60mm radiator inside. That’s why I haven’t sealed the case yet, lol. Still, I’ve got two spare parts, each 1000w. I should mention I stopped mining and started overclocking the CPU again. During stress tests, if things get too high, the system crashes. BUT!!! I found an article on NiceHash about a problem with NVIDIA drivers after a certain version. They removed features for mining/hashing, and that’s exactly what I’m experiencing. After installing the recommended driver and cleaning it up with DDU, I went back into Ryzen Master and cut my CPU speed down. It now runs around 2.2GHz under moderate load. With Prime 95, it barely hits 3.0GHz. Not that I’m obsessed, but it’s interesting. Hopefully this seasonic works with Corsair PSU cables. As mentioned, I kept her on Prime 95 in auto/eco mode—Ryzen said it was stable. I ran benchmarks for over an hour, started one, waited ten minutes, then stopped and did a mixed test for three hours. I can’t confirm if the GPU issue is fixed. I did separate stress tests with each card individually, and all three passed. So far, nothing else to do except play games—though they won’t work. So I’ll keep the power on and have some drinks nearby. Thanks for understanding! I never expected a PSU to be so reliable. Tried everything else, so yeah! Yay! A working PC... probably in about 30 minutes.
