I got a 16 year old 1000 watt PSU I still use. If I don’t use the computer within a few days it usually takes a couple attempts to get going and just shuts off right away. I am guessing the capacitors are getting weak? It’s been this way for around the past 5 years. It’s not my main machine but it’s still great to use to watch Netflix on in my daughters playroom.

[@ASC_Naxer]

I had a blue screen saying critical process died and now it won't turn on. Do u know what the issue might be

[@Kayshots]

if it wont turn on its hdd/ssd corruption due to system files breaking which can also cause power issues. If it posts and fans spin, reinstall windows.

[@akaPencils]

I had a blue screen also, which didn't give me enough time to read it before the power cut. Didn't turn back on, but the fan won't even spin now... it tries for a half second and fails continuously, looping attempts to boot/reboot. Guessing it's going to be the PSU in my case.

[@MonstarCave]

Thanks for this video, the first two problems seem to keep happening to me ordered a new PSU today hopefully this solves the issues, had my PSU for 3 years and it started doing this a few months ago didn't think it would be the problem.

[@ChillDudeBoy]

its has litttle shock in my pc but is very paintful well i have problem my pc windows shutdown randomly but my pc still running or still working can you tell me how to fix it

[@kewal88]

What if you have a 3 monitor setup, all screens connected to one GPU and you have these symptoms randomly, not very often, accruing: - when pc is started from turned off state (cold) the GPU fans will go off like turbines, no picture appears on the screens and the pc doesn’t Boot at all. The pc will stay in this state until power is disconnected and will eventually come back to life after several boot try’s. - when the gpu gets load, in my case typically when showing the 3d printers movement in the slicer software, the screens will go black. I can then still connect to my pc sometimes using TeamViewer as the pc is still working, but without picture output on the screens. To then shutdown and restart the system correctly. In 80% of the time this works. If not, I have to force shut down the system by the power switch or power cable unfortunately - my ram is ok, all the other hardware works just fine when the pc is working. But sometimes, it behaves like described. Faulty capacitors in my PSU? The system is 11 years old now (i7, 16GB Ram, SSD raid) and is still ok for me - but maybe 11 years is to much for some components. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance and happy New Year’s 🎆

[@joshuabautista3269]

Same symptoms bro I send my gpu to a repair shop and the issue above is still there

[@Guanjyn]

I’m trying to identify where my issue is coming from. My display will crash but I can still hear audio. The last time it happened, the other components like the fans turned off as well. It was like the PC was off but I could still hear audio. It’s not the gpu because I’ve swapped to my old one already. I’m almost finished the ram test and it says no problems yet. I’m just thinking it’s between mobo and psu but does this sound like it could be a psu issue? The psu fan is working.

[@VelocityMicroPC]

Sounds like motherboard, but could be either

I DO have a riser cable for my GPU. it must be that interfiering due to bad cable or something, or the PSU. Right? ps. I've had the same issue with both win10 and 11. The issue went away for about 2 months completely after I dusted of my pc, then it came back. Clues?

my pc is restarting after 10-15 mins of gaming and another problem the screen goes black for 1 sec then come back to normal, so i hope that is the psu and not other component cuz i'm gonna buy a new one

[@alexanderzawydiwski9534]

Is there any chance that it could cause audio white noise?

[@VelocityMicroPC]

More likely some type of audio interference via the motherboard audio outputs.

@@VelocityMicroPC Okay because I received three broken motherboards in a row from aces and on my 4th one now and it has developed a weird sound for the speakers that varies with the GPUS FPS

Me: Is wondering if the power supply is the reason none of my components run at full throttle This guy: Is your PC on fire?? Could be the power supply.

Hey bro my pc doesn't give display something and sometimes it start but display goes off randomly even though pc is running so i checked the whole pc i thought its gpu but when i check my cpu and gpu fans sometimes runs and stops after 1 sec happens 7,8 times then sometime pc run after or it goes on and off i am really confused now some videos say its motherboard, some say its gpu , some pcu i have done every trick that is mentioned in many videos cleaned my whole pc and i am not getting time to go to service center cause its too far from my house have to carry my whole box there what to do ?

[@asadkamal5354]

And gives a little shock but that is normal i think cause that is happening way before i started having problem

My pc sometimes starts up but sometimes doesn't. When it doesn't start up, it either: 1) Starts up cpu fan, and cpu fan stops immediately. 2) OR Doesn't start up cpu fan at all. When I switch off the power at the plug and on again, unplugged most of usb devices, it can turn on. Plugging back those devices, the pc still continue running fine. But when I let it sleep, it can't turn back on. Before the first incident of not being able to start up the pc, I might have heard some louder fan noise sometimes from the PSU. Is this a PSU problem?

[@VelocityMicroPC]

Likely either PSU or motherboard

[@themanape]

@@VelocityMicroPC After I changed the CMOS battery and removed my GPU, the PC is now able to start up, shut down, start up again, sleep, and wake up without removing any USB device or switching off the power at the socket.

oh, I'm supposed to unplug my PC when it starts smoking? I just tried overclocking all components As far as I could take them

[@neoavenir]

i’m still tryna confirm if my psu is failing, i’ve had several blackouts throughout the months due to the heat where i’m at, my pc is a power hog and a high end one too, i stress test my pc/ benchmarks etc to see if i can replicate my pc randomly turning off on the start screen, what i found out is my psu cable wasnt plugged all the way in but at the same time i’m doubting that’s as entirely it.

Never cheap out in quality on PSU. Losing your PC is one thing, losing your house is another...

[@alinpad1054]

sometimes when I turn on the computer, the power supply fan spins very loudly and only the keyboard and mouse lights come on and I have to turn it off and on several times to start normally, after that I don't have any more problems, everything works normally the power supply fan spins slowly and the computer no longer has any problems (I have this problem for several days)

[@CMDRFandragon]

If your pc instantly turns off followed by a burning smell in the vicinity of your psu...your psu just died? Cuz thats what mine did last night. Its 8 yrs old at this point and got alotta use. I went to work, n tried powering it back up after I got back...nothin. a little red light did turn on on my MB though....

[@johnlesterayuban8253]

The #2 is relatable and suddenly your CMOS become melted with the other parts on it, then it will start lagging when you play games and sadly I wasted bunch of CMOS then I realized its my PSU is the major problem😔

[@MayorAnanas]

The clicking noise is not that frequent and happens only when Im gaming. Its one tick/click per 5-10 minutes and I heard this might be a failing component. I recently overclocked my gpu too much. I did a factory reset and the gpu is working fine ig (but it makes lag spikes in games after some time so I need to give it a break. This might be an overheating problem.). After the factory reset I started hearing a clicking noise once 5-10min from the pc and I cant locate the source. Can someone pls help me

[@Marik010]

Appreciate it, in my case my computer had a surge from lightning and wouldn't boot up after I turned it off, no lights at all except my USB/3.5mm speakers, so I assume the PSU got nuked since all the other parts still work.

[@magicwolf2265]

i have 3 problems of these came in order .. now it restart while gaming or programing . thx for this vid

[@Yamoyashi]

but what if there's no display and all cpu, case and gpu fans are all in max spin?

[@QueenieeeElena]

Few days ago I decided to clean my PC, so I used a blower (I turned off the power and I also didn't touch any equipment, I didn't unplug any wire from GPU, CPU, mainboard etc...) after I finished with the cleaning I came to turn my PC on but it went off right after I turned it on... so I decided to test few things, like I detached the RAMs and changed their places and I also switched the power outlet (instead of using multi outlet I connected PC straight to the outlet) so the thing happened was that PC stayed on for a longer time (few more seconds) but it still went off and turned on again by itself... it's more like a restart loop... rn I connected the monitor but I don't have a screen at all not even mainboard logo and literally black screen...
