PC Power Cycling

Luke5158 · January 16, 2023

Hey,

Randomly when using my PC, it will shut down, RGB and all, then immediately turn on again, the cycle can take less than a second, then will remain for a little while (Approx 1min). The process will happen multiple times, each time with the amount of time that it stays on getting shorter and shorter. Eventually, it will just turn on and off, the whole process taking less than a second, the power supply will click and it happens so fast that I literally get a flash of RGB.

My Parts list is below, please help.

is this a new power supply? and are all of the cables fully seated in their connectors?

Cables are fully connected. It's a new psu but the issues started when I purchased it. Could it be that the unit itself is defectional?

Thats where I would start.

especially if you are telling me that its new, and this issue you noticed after that PSU came into the picture.

Tried new psu, didn’t fix it

Did you build this pc recently? Was your pc working fine for months and then started doing this?

Have you checked your CPU cooler? If the pump quit working this could be an overheating issue. Does the pc work fine for about 20-30 minutes after its been off for a couple hours?
