The computer is starting up but then stopping unexpectedly.
Hello everyone, I need your assistance.
My PC build details are as follows: the PSU is an Aerocool vx-500. The computer is booting for roughly 4 to 5 seconds before shutting down, but the power indicator remains on. I’m having to turn off the PSU again to restart the system.
I believe the PSU isn’t functioning properly and I’ve heard some unusual noises coming from it.
Recently, after upgrading my GTX 750ti to GTX 1050ti, I experienced similar issues—once or twice during booting. Now, with the new GPU, the problem occurs every time I power on the machine.
If this is indeed a PSU issue, could you suggest a reliable PSU in the $50 to $60 range?
It seems like you're considering replacing the switch if it's making noises when turning off the unit. I'd recommend checking it out and replacing it if necessary. You might also look into buying it from a local store for $75 or opting for Seasonic as an alternative.

Why do folks still opt for bronze???

People often end up with bronze instead of gold.
Reason: tight budget
Two crap PSU $$ equals one good PSU $$
