question Faulty PSU?

[DieselDoesIt]

Hey, I think I have a problem with my PSU

It all started like 5 weeks ago, If I try to play any games or I try to run FurMark, my pc restarts without any warning, straight black screen and pc starts up again.

Temperatures are good, GPU sits around 30-40°C, CPU is 35-40°C too and RAM is 40-50°C(fresh drivers)

I've also noticed in AIDA64 that my voltages drop below 11V when I start FurMark(when its able to start it without restarting after clicking start lol)

And the 24PIN connector with the 2yellow wires(main power) is a little bit darker than it was when I installed the PSU

Do anyone have any idea what to do? 

SPECS:

Motherboard: Supermicro X7DBE

CPU: 1x Intel Xeon X5450 (1x because motherboard has 2cpu slot and I'm only using 1)

RAM: 32GB DRR2

GPU: MSI RX 470 ARMOR OC (4GB)

PSU: CHIEFTEC GPS-500AB A (500W)

Voltages AT IDLE (running Chrome&Discord&AIDA64)

the +3.3v and the +12v voltages seem to be out of spec, somebody tune in if this is wrong, but iirc +12 is minimum 11.4v and +3.3v is minimum 3.1v, so probably time to replace.

looks like it's just an aging power supply being an aging power supply.. probably time to replace that thing.

 

i went to check and it appears that that PSU is a model from 2006...

I agree with lgcas and manikyath, but be aware that AIDA64 is known to cause crashes also.

Always try without AIDA too.

Thank you guys for the fast reply! I watched a video and now everything is seems to be out of specs but somehow its still going(I'm on PC right now),  and yes it's seems to be an old PSU, and I have tried without AIDA, I have tried HWMonitor too!

What would be a good budget psu for this config? I can't afford too much right now

Wow, 12v is very low, no wonder it's resetting all the time.

A good psu should not be +/- 0.5v.

Absolutely change your PSU.

For budget PSU get Corsair CV450 if you can't afford CX450.
