psu shutdowns, will it damage hardware?

[hoyamons]

My Seasonic g550 has been shutting down my pc randomly for the past few days, somewhere around 10-20 times. Does it damage any hardware or peripherals? I had a new headphone plugged in when one of the shutdowns occurred and there was a buzzing noise.

Is it shutting down randomly or only when you put it under load? If it's random shutdowns it may not be the PSU.

Some more details?

If it shuts down, do you hear a click noise a few seconds later?

It doesn't matter if it's under load or not, it shuts down during normal use or idle, I've tried putting it under load, and it didn't shut down, thought it was only for 20 mins.

My PC did that when the RAM was dying. Run memtest for a few hours.

Then it's not an issue with the PSU. It's a stability issue that can be caused by any one of a variety of other components, including motherboard, RAM, or your Windows installation.

I ran the windows memory diagnostic and it said the RAM is fine, should I run more tests?

PC shutdown again, and no it didn't click a few seconds later.

I checked my windows updates and a few other things as well, it might be the motherboard.

Windows Memory Diagnostics are garbage. Run memtest86 for a few hours (at least 8)
