Psu buzzing underload and crash after a spike when loading

[Hibyemy]

So I got this enermax 850w 80+ gold and it makes a buzzing sound underload NOT a whine. So after checking it's not a fan problem nor is it underpowered. So any idea how I can fix it? I can't rma it cause out of warrenty and Don't have the money for a new one. But it only happens in gaming cause both benchmark and mining runs fine even with 10% overclock. under a smooth high load it only buzzes but won't shut down but when a spike in load happens it shuts down with a click.

If you've just had a power spike and it caused damage to your power supply, then be glad it's your power supply and not the rest of your system.

With a damaged or defective power supply, don't chance it - replace it as soon as possible. That's not some tongue-in-cheek comment. A damaged or bad power supply can literally catch fire, torch your PC, and burn your house down, despite its initial quality. For an idea of how a bad power supply (or a good power supply that's defective) can wreak havoc on your system, just look at one of JonnyGuru's gutless wonders. Seriously.

A load spike as in a rapid increase of gpu/CPU useage like when loading a game

Ok.

 

Words matter.

 

So, which Enermax PSU is this?  What graphics card?

 

If it's one with a double forward topology, the buzzing noise may be normal.

That's an ANCIENT (in computer part years) PSU.  Just replace it.

 

Probably.. what?  Seven years old?

Live with the problem? I guess some buzzing is not a big deal, so you can wait it out, it may break at some point, then you can replace it.

 

Or you can be done with it and spend 45$ to replace it now.

Nope.

 

Never cheap out on the PSU.

 

So you bought a used PSU that wasn't very good to begin with.  Live and learn.
