Asus X99 Deluxe 2
Corsair Ax860i
Intel 6900k @ 4.2
Ever since ive had this configuration, and it has never not been this, I get random "one-click" shut downs and restarts. I looked up the issue and found it was a pretty common problem with my power supply. Tonight however, it did a one click shut off but did not restart. It turns out that now if I click the power button, it stays on for about 1 second, the CPU LED cuts on, then shuts off abruptly. I have reason to believe it is my power supply, but I have also seen the same problem with the board online where it only stays on for 1 second, also with a 6900k. I don't have the resources to test the CPU and Motherboard myself, but I do with the power supply. My computer configuration calls for at least 800 watts. I have a 650 watt power supply currently on hand. Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but could I still test with the 650 watt to post and/or to windows lock screen safely? My reasoning is that is shouldn't be using 800 watts of power in the BIOS or windows lock screen just yet. Is that Ok?
