I have a no name power supply the brand is an ADJ and the model is 210-00552.

i have a problem where it just shuts down at a random times especially when i play games.

when i moved my pc i accidentally used the power cord for my monitor instead of the power cord for my pc (my moniter cord is thinner than my pc cord).

Is there a selution or do i need to buy a new psu

Are you sure the power supply is the cause, the monitor cable should work

idk what the problem is i am just guessing 

 

it just started then

If it started after moving the PC, it's possible that it's because something got knocked slightly loose. I'd open up the case and make sure everything is properly seated. Not just a visually inspection (which likely won't catch anything) but actually pushing components and connectors into their slots, even if they look well-seated.

It's right there in the picture you quoted.

 

550W total.  456W on the +12V rail.

 

We just don't know if that's real or not because it's not from a recognized brand.

 

Depending on @Target667's build, it could be because he used the monitor power cable.  Power cables for monitors tend to be smaller gauge because monitors don't use as much power as PCs.

I'm just bad at reading labels

What is the specs of the whole system? I suspect that it could be the psu since it looks to be from a pre build, most brands try save money by cheaping out on the power supply.

Yeah.  That's no where near 550W.

 

And other than the fact that the input is 230V only, that PSU doesn't seem "that bad".  I mean.. the fact that the +12V is that high and the +3.3V and +5V are low.  It's made for a modern PC.

[Target667]

the psu only cost 20 euros

Looks like this is the website listing for it. https://www.adj.it/en/psu/132-210-00552-8058773831644.html

The features list include a fan, cables, and an on/off switch. I guess no-one can accuse them of overstating it.

 

According to the tech specs it lacks PFC, and at 20 euro you know it's going to be junk anyway.

Maybe I'm blind but the tech specs says it has 1x 4+4pin CPU connector, 1x PATA, 3x SATA, and says "Yes" to 6pin PCIe and 6+2pin PCIe; yet in the picture on the website it appears to only have a 4pin CPU, 2 PATA, 1 SATA, Motherboard (hopefully that's 24pin) and a floppy connector - no PCIe connectors.

 

 

I'd replace it.

and i think my 1050 is powered by the pci-e because there is no cable conected to it

I didn't see that it didn't have PFC.  I figured it was 230V only because of an undersized primary circuit.

 

If you look at the OP's photo, there's a CE logo.  You can't have the CE logo if you don't have APFC.

It is. It's powered through the motherboard slot. Less than 75W for those cards so there's no need for the auxiliary cable. I was just remarking on the discrepancies between the specifications listed on the website and what the image shows.

Though any "550W" PC PSU that doesn't have a PCIe connector probably isn't really a 550W PSU.

The rest of the specs for the PSU listed on the website don't seem to match up either so it could just be a mistake in the tech specs listed. There's a pdf for the declaration in the download section if you wanted to check it. You'd be right it should have APFC.
