Experiencing occasional problems starting my PC. Initially, I thought the sleeve cable was faulty; after replacing all of them, it worked for a couple of weeks. Now the issue resurfaced. Recently, when I turned on the system, I noticed a white light coming from the power supply unit. You can view it in the attached link. The PC has resumed functioning, though it's unclear how long before further trouble occurs. Just wanted to double-check before proceeding with a return. My machine is still operational and performing normally. Thanks for your help.

It's typical. Avoid reversing the switch abruptly.

Isn't it better to reverse the PSU setting? I don't own a PSU, yet I rely on my extension cord to switch it on and off quickly for fast BIOS restarts or testing.

He intended to avoid toggling the switch excessively over a very brief period, similar to what OP did. It seems you weren't switching it on and off repeatedly within a one-second span during testing.

Used the extension cord on the giga h61m, needing three resets for BIOS after adjusting RAM OC. C1 code appears within a second, though it's mainly to power down the device.

I repeated this many times in brief periods. For instance, a 3-on-off pattern lasting 2 seconds, repeated over 10 seconds.

They did exactly what the person in the video did. Occasionally there’s a flash and other times not, based on how the mains AC sine wave changes. The same goes for connecting certain devices to the main power.
