Hey guys i have been getting power surges on and off for like 2 months now i have never had a problem before this , the pc will just randomly shut down and restart sometimes it just sits in a restart cycle until i urn the power off .

 

i have monitored temps on evrything nothing overheats sometimes i can go a week playing a game with gpus and cpu both overclocked and no problems , other times i will be browsing facebook and it shuts off so i think this rules out needing a higher rated psu ,

 

i have contacted corsair and they have agreed to replace the psu but this morning i was rewiring the whole comnputer looking for any problems and i found one , the red cable on the power connector for my LED fdan controller is loose if i pull it gently a certain way the fan controller does not work this has not shorterd my pc and hasn't tripped asus anti surge as of yet but my quiestion is this , is it possible that this is my problem and not my psu ?????

 

My specs are

 

Asus Maximus Hero VII

Asus GTX 980 x2 (oc)

Corsair 860 ATX

Intel 4790 k   ( oc to 4.7 )

16GB corsair 2133mhz RAM

Samsumg 850 evo 1TB

WB 2 TB Blue

Windows 7 Home

It might just be a bad psu. If corsair is sending you a new one, then you'll probably be fine with that they send you.

 

also, WD didn't make a 2tb caviar blue.
