Hello guys,

My pc randomly shutting down (BIOS, Windows 11 or before BIOS), same as when cpu overheat but cpu temperature <50°C. But Sometimes pc works normal.

Tried booting to BIOS without HDD and graphics card connected. Replaced power button. Cleaned whole PC. Reconnected all wires. Replaced PSU power cable.

First remove bios cmos battery and put it back, then try another psu

 I have tried unplugging the cable for the psu and took out CMOS battery then holding the power button on the case down for 30 sec. Also replaced CMOS battery with new one.

If your computer isn't turning on at all or is turning off unexpectedly, it could be a sign that the power supply is failing. In some cases, you may also experience random shutdowns, this could also point to a bad power supply as well.

I tried pulling out all wire one by one from my motherboard still same problem. Then I changed motherboard with new one (luckily I got 1) still same problem. Conclusion this must be PSU problem. I hope Corsair gives out of warranty repair .

man, i wanted to be the cool kid on the block with a 1500w PSU.
although they shouldnt give me an issue with an RMA.  theyre sold with ten year warrantys, i havent opened it up, so yeah.  with any luck maybe ill end up with a slightly smaller revision.  All i need is like half an inch or so to fit my 140mm x 60mm radiator in there.  its the only reason i havent closed up the case yet lol
anyway ill see about sending it out for repair or whatever.  in the mean time at least i have 2 "spare" seasonics, both 1000w. 

 

i do have to say i stopped mining and resumed overclocking just on the cpu.  of course when stress testing, if things are too high bloop, pc explodes.
BUT!!!!!!  I did find an article on nicehash that mentioned an issue with nvidia drivers *after* a certain version.  not only did they remove uh, something for mining/hashing but yes, my same issue! 
i installed the "recommended" driver, clean too with DDU or whatever.  blah same problem.
went back into ryzen master and totally dialed down my cpu.  it runs at around 2.2ghz on a moderate load.  i smash it with prime 95 and it really dont get past 3.0ghz for some reason.  not that i exactly care its just interesting.

 

well, with any luck, this seasonic will work fine with the corsair PSU cables!  as mentioned above i DID keep her going on prime 95 on auto/eco mode (ryzen said it was stable, whatever dude lol).  i had the bench running for over an hour, i actually started one, idk supposedly super intense, gave it ten mins then said bleep it and gave it the mixed test for like 3 hours.
i cant say if the gpu issue was solved....  i DID do seperate benches, as in stress testing one card at a time and yep, all three. 
Whatever, i got nothing else to do except play games, which wont work so... yeah.  ill keep the power plugged in and have a bunch of open beverages surrounding me as i do

 

thanks guys!  i never would have thought the PSU as they rarely die.  tried everythign else so, yeah!
yay!  a working pc... hopefully in 30 mins or so
