Hi guys,
Two days ago I increased my i5 2500k to 4.5ghz with 1.35v and added a GTX 1080 iX3, but today unexpectedly my PC shut down without any load. There were no beeps or lights. After disconnecting the GPU from the PSU, it restarted when I turned off the PSU button again, but the GPU and fans still came on except the power cable wasn’t connected to the PSU. Is this due to a problem with the new graphics card or the PSU? The PSU itself is a club3d 700w bronze 80plus rated model purchased five years ago. Could it be coming from the motherboard?
Edit: Regarding the OC settings, I only changed the voltage and multiplier. The motherboard is a P67 GD55 from MSI, and I performed stress tests with Prime95 for about two hours, reaching a maximum temperature of 82°C.
Edit2: When I powered off the PSU from the button and turned it back on after a few seconds, the system started for about a second before shutting down again. Nothing else was happening.
The PCIe slot continues to supply power (maximum 75W), which explains why some cards don’t require any PSU power. The PSU cables act as additional power sources. To perform tests without the GPU, you must completely remove it from the system. I haven’t come across any information about Club3D producing PSUs (though it’s the OEM that matters, not the brand name), and I couldn’t locate any credible reviews. Adding five years of use increases the likelihood that the PSU is the issue. Your overclocking setup seems to be functioning adequately.
Why wouldn't you get display without the GPU? The i5-2500K has onboard graphics (HD 3000).
Clearing your CMOS is definitely a good idea. If it works without the OC, you can then dive in further. If it still doesn't, there's likely a bigger issue at play.
I fully disconnected the GPU and both attempts to reset the CMOS using jumpers or jumpers failed, yet I still experience the same one-second on-off reaction. What should I do next?
It definitely feels like something from PSU. Considering its age, unclear condition (likely low quality), and the stress of an OC, it might have simply given up.

Your comment came across as very emotional—I almost had to organize a funeral for it, even though it was just a poorly reviewed piece. It really hurt me, and I’m feeling very sad.
Next, I plan to buy a Corsair RM650 tomorrow. It should work fine with a GTX 1080, i5 at 4.5ghz/1.35v, a basic DVD player, and an HDD.
EDIT: My PC started working without the OC, but there’s something odd happening.
I have a SATA cable connected to one DVD player. If I disconnect that, the PC functions in just one second. Everything else attached works in a similar way, except for the PSU cables to the GPU, which also react in one second. Don’t tell me it’s the DVD player?
😀
Edit: What should I do now? How can I diagnose a PSU issue?
I purchased the Corsair RM650X and everything connected works fine with the OC. I believe I should turn off some greenpeace features in my BIOS since I set the vcore to 1.35v. It sometimes jumps to 1.42v during prime95 stress tests and even briefly reaches about 1.5v at startup, which surprised me. I’m not sure if this is normal or it could get worse during gaming without me noticing.
