PSU Huge Problem

[HelpPLS.]

so i have bought a custom built and when i tested it out at the store it was perefectly fine , camehome tried to plug it in worked fine but had flickers if i play demending games, but it was fine in non-demending like cs go ect .. after a month of playing one day i woke up and went to play  i had flickers even on chrome , i checked and i found out my psu fan was not spinning , opened it cleaned the psu fan , turned it on , back to how it used to be (flickers on demending games such as jc4 , cod warzone ect ..) but this time i wanted to keep flickering to see what happens , and after 3 mins of flickers getting sstronger and stronger my pc turned off like the power cut

 

notes:

flickers in demending games come by time like after 2 mins of playing i started flickering

when  i record the flickers i dont see them on my screen

 

so pls pls help me , i can't go back to the store because of corona and i can't contact the guy

PC

i5 2400

gtx 1050

8gb ram

unkown brand of a 750WATT PSU

i would check your GPU sounds more like an GPU problem, maybe your PSU has a 0-fan-mode and that is why its not spinning

no no no , my gpu temps are perfectly fine and so is my cpu , if i stress the gpu alone i dont get the flickers but if i stress both of them i get  the flickers

Well it sounds quite a lot like a defective graphics card. You can remove the graphics card and run the PC with only integrated graphics, to test. You should have taken it right back to the shop, not waited a month, hopefully they will service you.

Return to the seller,if it flickered since day 1 it was probably broken in the first place.

man , its not a gpu problem 100%  cuz when i stress my gpu alone i dont get the problem but when i stress both cpu and gpu i get the problem and my psu gets hot but my cpu and gpu are both fine

how exactly do you define "flickering" is it an audible issue coming from inside your case or is it a visual issue on your screen?

Doesn't necessarily mean it's a PSU problem, and also, what do you stress the GPU with? If it only has a problem when rendering a 3D scene, and you use an artificial test like aida64, it may not trigger the problem.

expline how its a gpu problem when i stress the gpu alone i dont get it but when i stress the cpu and gpu i get it ?? it sounds like a psu problem to me not being able to give enough power to both of them

idk i just look at the screen and see black lines/white pixels and like a frame above a frame and if it keep flickering for like 6 mins or higher it turns off by it self

A hot PSU by human touch means nothing, problems for capacitors don't arise until you get above 100 Celsius, which is so burning hot for humans.

 

A true 750 watt PSU would not need to spin the fan to power a quad core and GTX 1050, your system probably consumes about 200 watts while gaming and maybe 50 or 40 at idle. 

 

This does not really sound like a power supply problem, you can't find out for certain with your current hardware though. You need to borrow some other parts to test, so if a friend can lend you a graphics card or PSU to test with, you can find out, but there is no way of knowing right now.

If you did not take a thermal measurement, "hot" means nothing. What temperature was your PSU?

 

Again, if you touched it and it felt hot, that does not matter. PC components will burn you, even when they are cooled properly. They are not made of skin so they do not have to be kept as cool as a human.

You should take a deep breath and calm yourself down, i understand it is very emotionaly frustrating if your PC acts that way. but people only want to help you here

What's your definition by "it was going to fucking explode" ?

How did you know that ?

Since you have already decided that the power supply is at fault, your only choice is to purchase a new one, or tell the shop where you bought the PC that they sold you a defective product.

 

This current power supply is not salvageable if it does not work anymore, PSU repair is near impossible for most shops.
