One more thing bothers me, when I jumped into the bios today with the old psu I noticed it reads 1.111W shouldnt it be atleast 1.200W to work properly on high loads. 1.2V is clearly written on its side. I might sound stupid, but this problem is annoying me so hard.

Wanna hear the funny thing? Sometimes the pc booted up to a minute right when all the apps and windows loaded then it woukd crash, but in most cases boot woukdnt last more than a second, and the longer I try to press the power button in a row the quicker it would fail, until it wouldnt even light up or spin anymore and the only things left powered on are power button ( since its trying to boot loop) and keyboard, monitor and mouse. This is a strange situation and probably a dead psu out of the box.

I am sorry its 8 pin for gpu. I used only the brand new cables that came with corsair even the power outlet is used that they provided. Now pc without gpu still booted for a second and craahed. I have a question that bothers me, I connected my CD-ROM and my 1tb hard drive with the same SATA power cable I used two connectors on the same cable for them, but on my EPS I used 2 different SATA cables for each. Could that be the issue?

That is what I think the problem is, why would one boot the PC and the other refuse to boot the PC?

I actually still have it. but its not a science fiction you know My cpu power is 4 pins so I splited the 8 pin and connected only 4, I connected the sata to my cdrom and toshiba hard drive, 24 pin, and ofcourse 6 pin PCIe to the gpu. Yeah it points me to the gpu because old psu crashes only at high loads and its more than likely that psu is having trouble to deliver the power gpu needs. Prime95 is not that power watage hungry as furmark gpu test.

Since old psu boots the system and fails at high load that symptom points me to PSU, new psu wouldnt even boot the PC for more than 1 second. Prime95 cpu test doesnt crash the PC but Furmark Gpu test crashes the PC. Meh.

Hello,So few days earlier I have decided to change my PSU since system was crashing on high loads. My old PSU is EPS ENERGON Gaming power supply 650W semi-modular, and as I looked it up on google people were saying that its a junk psu ( correct me if I am wrong.) So I decided to go with CORSAIR CX 650W semi-modular also, but with that one my system refused to boot longer than 1 second, so I switched it back to my old psu again and it booted properly but crashed again on high loads. I managed to refund the corsair psu and now I am in search of PSU that will work on my specs and not sbut down my system immediately.My sytem is 3 years old and after 2 and half years of use shutdowns and restarts began on high loads, its not the temperature, as I checked the temps and changed termal pastes on cpu and gpu, so I suspect its the PSU.Cpu at idle : 25CCpu at load: 48CGpu at idle: 50C ( fans only spin at 60C)Gpu at load: 69CPc is clean and cables are all checked.Power outlets are fine.Ram is reseated and Cmos battery is changed.Here are the specs:motherboard: Gigabyte ultra durable h110mcpu: Intel i5 6500 3.2ghz 3.2ghz 4 coresgpu: XFX AMD RX 480 8gb vramram: 2x 8gb Hyper xhard drive: 1x Toshiba 1tb driveCoolers: cpu stock cooler, 1 front panel intake cooler and double stock gpu coolers1x 60hz acer monitor1x keyboard1x mouse1x HeadsetNo speakersSince Corsair cx650W didnt worked on my machine, I dont know which one to buy for my system and I need help to solve this annoying issueMybe its just a faulty one out of the box, But I dont think so it gave the power to the mother board, when I pressed the power button everything lighten up and spinned for a second and then shutdownThe old psu crashes only on high loads.Thanks for future advices, I appreciate everyones advice Help!

UPDATE: I have mounted my old psu again and it booted up as it used to, I tried to put it on load to see if it will crash again and it did, so this tells me that psu is not powerful enough anymore to give high loads of power, also I have noticed in bios the the power it reads is 1.112W, shouldnt it need to be atleast 1.2W to work properly?

I understand where you are going with this, but I managed to enter the bios only once and saw that it reads all the components normally, the cpu temperature is where it needs to be at 23-24C, it cant be overheating. Listen PC is from 2016 but it hasnt been used all the time nor messed with the components that much. So its like brand new I wouldnt point my finger to the cpu chip, rhis looks to me as few things: 1. I got new psu that is faulty. 2. Not enough power from psu, but I dont believe in that since I only have a cpu and 1 gpu, so 400-500w would do, I have 650w from corsair. 3. Bad connection or shortage somewhere. The way I plan to attack this problem is this. I will mount the old pau back, if it boots like it used to, that tells me the new psu is faulty. If it doesnt, well then... I am planning to check the toshiba hard drive, ram and cables. If all fails, fuck it i will need a new gpu/cpu or motherboard and by the looks of this I will probably need to buy a new pc since those parts will cost me the same as a new brand pc, so I pray I will bypass this situation allaround.

It boots normally, I can see the screen and everything looks normal, when it runs for longer than usual it actually loads all my apps and windows and after few more seconds it shuts down, but usually it runs max of 2 sec and then restarts. The longer I try to power it on in a row the quicker it shuts down, until it doesnt even light up anymore and the only thing left on is power button, mouse and keyboard. I dont know what to do.

Hi guys, I have a somewhat a weird problem after changing my PSU. I already searched ton of threads regarding similar issues that people experienced but none seems to be a fix to my case what so ever, so I decided to make my own thread and provide you as many details that I can. First things first I bought this PC fully built back in 2016. Its a mid range gaming pc that was pretty good deal in terms preformance > price. And indeed it was great while it worked properly, but after somewhat 2 - 2 and a half years after purchasing I experienced auto shutdowns and restarts if I turn on some heavy load or bump up the graphics options in some of the games ( ex. Fortinte, PES 2020, even Ring of elysium the battle royale...). This never ever happened to me before as I could run the battlefield 1 on ultra without any issues or shutdowns, only somewhat higher temps obviously but all in range of safe usage. So after some online research I found that 90% of the people fixed this issue by changing their PSU, but before I did that I tried every single alternative option in hope I would not need to buy a new one, but unfortunately none of the tricks & tips from google worked. So I decided to ignore that problem and get used to running things on low - medium and render videos in 720p instead of 1080p because 1080p would crash it aswell. But few days ago I finally decided enough is enough and I will buy a new one and fix this issue once forever... ...and it didnt turned out as I planned, what happened is my PC now sometimes turns on for a minute or two, sometimes for 30 seconds but most of the time its turns on for a fraction of a second and shuts down in attempt to try to boot again but longer I allow it to do this the quicker it restarts and after 2 attempts the only thing left lighten up is my main PC tower power button...now this is very depressing, frustrating and mind buggling because it seems like I fucked up my pc totally by trying to fix it. I will now list of the things I tried to do so far ( before I quited messing with it ) List of things before I changed the PSU I checked my temps while under load GPU would hang around 65C-73C max and CPU would be around 33C- 43C ( new cooler ) 39C - 48C ( stock intel cooler ) Reinstall Windows OS ( 2x times ) Deleted all my GPU drivers with DDU and cleaned %temp% ( temporary files ) Cheched for viruses, none found Tried plug/unplug PSU cables and reseating GPU Changed thermal paste to the CPU Bought new cooler for CPU and messed a bit to get better airflow, temps are just where I want them to be now. Reseted BIOS settings to default factory settings Updated BIOS Updated all windows updates Underclocked my card, after that didnt worked I also tried to overvolt it and undervolt it, I am was basicaly desperate at this point so I tried everything that I could I tried to plug my power outlet directly to the wall PRIME 95 cpu stress test all cores max temp of 45C and it did not crash the system FURMARK gpu stress test for 1080 predefined profile PC crashed immedietly I didnt even saw anything, it crashed as soon as I clicked GO! at this point I gave up None of these worked so I gave up and got used to run things on lower load than I would prefer. ( low settings ...blabla ) Here is a list of things I tried after I changed PSU and my PC denied to boot properly Checked and plug/unplugged all the cables from the PSU Reseated Both RAM sticks and tested it with each one and in each socket Cleaned some dust leftover Messed up with cable managment but I did a good job so I didnt got to do much more Pluged and unpluged cables from PSU Reseated GPU Changed CPU thermal Paste again Managed to get to the bios once and saw that CPU rendering cool 24C idle so no its not overheaeting issue Reseted CMOS Battery, I waited 30 min before returning it back inside Reseated GPU again...lol Tried running it without GPU Turned it on with only power outlet .....I think thats about it The funny thing is when I change sockets in my extended power cord it runs for a longer time same happens if I plug it to the wall, but if I try the socket I already tried it boots for a second and resets, If I let it stay overnight and come back it runs for a much longer time. Motherboard works fine everything else works fine and is powered all the lights show on each device ( mouse, keyboard, monitor ), but it denies to boot properly. I know this is plenty of text, but I wanted to provide you guys with as much detail that I possibly could in hope I will be able to fix this problem anytime soon. Below are my PC specifications GPU: XFX AMD RX 480 8GB stock clock memory 1288mhz , vram 2000mhz CPU: intel i5 6500 four cores 3.2ghz RAM: 2x 8gb hyper X so in total I have 16gb of ram MOTHERBOARD: gigabyte ultra durable h110m HARD DRIVE: 1x Toshiba 1tb OLD PSU: EPS ENERGON 650W semi - modular NEW PSU: CORSAIR CX650W semi-modular OLD CPU COOLER: stock intel cooler NEW CPU COOLER: Cryorig h7 PC CASE: COOLER MASTER K380 MID-TOWER I dont want to make this any longer now I honestly think this is more than enough for you to come up with some ideas regarding what should I do....dayum. Thank you guys for all the efforts and suggestions, means alot :)
