Need help with PSU

[Acc]

I have had some system freezes lately. Sometimes soft freezes that make everything not responding but recovers. Sometimes it hard freezes and locks up the screen so my only option is to turn off with power button. In event log after hard freeze I only notice Event 51(Warning but can be ignored) followed by Event 41(Critical). I am 100% sure it is not drivers or Windows as I have reinstalled everything.

Now I started to look into hardware. I did multiple stress tests with CPU and GPU but nothing suspicious happens in temp.

Most common problem with Event 41 was PSU so I start with this in CPUID HWMonitor.

 

Hardware monitor        Fintek F71889ED
    Voltage 0        3.31 Volts [0xCF] (+3.3V)
    Voltage 1        1.25 Volts [0x9C] (CPU VCORE)
    Voltage 2        2.19 Volts [0x89] (VIN2)
    Voltage 3        1.31 Volts [0x6F] (VIN3)
    Voltage 4        2.99 Volts [0x47] (+5V)
    Voltage 5        13.99 Volts [0x9F] (+12V)
    Voltage 6        3.14 Volts [0xC4] (VIN6)
    Voltage 7        3.31 Volts [0xCF] (VSB3V)
    Voltage 8        3.23 Volts [0xCA] (VBAT)
    Temperature 0        40 degC (104 degF) [0x28] (TMPIN0)
    Temperature 1        42 degC (107 degF) [0x2A] (TMPIN1)
    Temperature 2        29 degC (84 degF) [0x1D] (TMPIN2)
    Fan 0            1805 RPM [0x33F] (FANIN0)
    Fan PWM 0        100 pc [0xFF] (CPU)
    Fan PWM 1        65 pc [0xA6] (System Fan 1)
    Fan PWM 2        60 pc [0x99] (System Fan 2)
    Fan PWM 3        100 pc [0xFF] (System Fan 3)

Hardware monitor        NVIDIA NVAPI
    Voltage 0        0.63 Volts [0x271] (GPU)
    Power 0            8.93 pc (GPU)
    Temperature 0        27 degC (80 degF) [0x1B] (GPU)
    Fan 0            1087 RPM [0x43F] (GPU)
    Fan PWM 0        31 pc [0x1F] (FANPWMIN0)
    Clock Speed 0        139.00 MHz [0x8B] (Graphics)
    Clock Speed 1        405.00 MHz [0x8B] (Memory)

 

I suspect something broke down in PSU within recent 2-3 weeks.

Funny thing is that it hard froze once a day like 1-3 h into. But when i started again for like 10h nothing crashed.

No software is capable of telling you what's going on inside your PSU without dedicated hardware for it, so don't bother using things like HWMonitor for that. They just don't work.

 

What are your full system specs?

Motherboard: msi 970A-g43

CPU: FX-6300 @3547MHz

SSD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB

HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

GPU: Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 AMP! Edition

PSU: ODIN Pro 550W Gigabyte

 

There isn't much to add that would make a difference.

For me the event 41 crashing I was experience in my system (very different hardware but still Win 10) was RAM.  I tested the system with memtest 86, all tests, 8 passes and saw the errors.  Then did each DIMM 1 at a time till I found it.  

Yes it took a long time.  

RMA is in progress now.

Ah, yeah that PSU is pretty ready to be replaced.

 

Are you looking for advice on a new unit? I'd recommend a Corsair CX450M if you are.

I don't feel sure about these 2 in PSU.

 

Oh I forgot about ram. My bad. 2x KINGSTON 4GB DDR3 PC12800

Your computer wouldn't even run with 3V on +5V and 14V on +12V, so you can see how hilariously bad HWMonitor is.
