Crossloads, or if things like the fan fails. (it might have OTP, if that is the case, fan failure isnt much of an issue)

 

It may also lead to reduced livespan of components due to it being a group regulated unit and lacking UVP.

If you just got it, surely you can just return it.

 

Next time ask BEFORE you buy a garbage PSU.

there is a very detailed and comprehensive tier list BTW, stickied as crucial thread, and you know, people spent a lot of time and effort to compose it for you.

Yet, you chose to ignore it. It is sad :( 

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

Working =//= it is doing fine

 

 

Get a propper powersupply, and return the one you have while you have the chance. 

 

edit: while that might be the case that they switched, doesnt make the PSU you bought any better.

Years ago, but I'd be shocked if their quality actually became something worth buying.

The computer shutting off with an overvolt message from the motherboard.
