Hey, your computer started working in April 2021 and has been acting up since then. Every few days, both screens go black and display "No Signal" when you load a game or browse the internet. You've tried disconnecting HDMI and DisplayPort, plugging it back in, turning off power to the monitors, and even unplugging it completely, but nothing works. Sometimes it shuts down instantly if you move or someone passes by. It only restarts after a few shutdowns, usually at night. You can still hear music playing when you're using it, but pressing the mouse hotkey turns it off permanently. The software "AMD RYZEN MASTER" was downloaded to check for overheating, but everything looked normal. Any tips or solutions would be really helpful!
I’m having trouble identifying the PSU you’re using—it seems like a potential warning. Let me check what’s inside and the wattage. Also, I’d like to review your cables and port connections. Your setup includes two monitors with different resolutions and refresh rates; I want to confirm how everything is configured. Edited September 14, 2022 by Bombastinator
This should cover your needs as long as you stay calm. PSUs tend to be more affordable, but avoid the very cheap options—they can pose safety risks. I checked the PSU tierlist earlier, but it wasn’t up to date. It might still be valid. I’m not sure. Some folks here have deeper knowledge about PSUs than I do. I’d aim for a budget of around $100. For an 800W unit, an 850W model costing about $130 seemed reasonable. You likely don’t need that much power if you’re just upgrading, but if you plan to add more, you might want something closer to 100W. Modern GPUs often spike temporarily, so boosting their minimum to about 100W helps prevent overcurrent protection from tripping.
Sure, I understand. You're looking for a reliable PSU brand. For better performance and reliability, consider brands like Corsair, MSI, or ASUS. Let me know if you need more details!
I’m not focused on PSU enthusiasts though there are some here. I just checked the tierlist. It looks like brand reliability isn’t consistent. You should consider model and manufacturing period. Sometimes SKU# PSU sellers don’t actually produce the items, and what’s inside matters more. That can vary. A company might sell a decent unit, then a faulty one, then another good one in the same line. What counts as “good” is durability and safety features. It has nothing to do with precious metal grade or color accuracy. Safety features can mean a power supply that fails causes fewer or no parts to break. PSUs connect to all components of the machine and are all affected by overvoltage. A sudden PSU failure can damage your CPU, motherboard, or graphics card. All PSUs eventually fail with prolonged use—it’s just how they’re built. The capacitors are large. The key is understanding their lifespan and replacing them before they degrade.
