Random power falling away?

[nicholaswillems]

Hello there,

 

Today my computer did this 2 times: I was just playing a game (not very demanding, cs go) or browsing the web, and my computer shutted down, but in the same way as if you'd pull the power cable away, just everything stops. It happened 2 times today already, the first time it just restarted itself, but the second time it wouldn't do anything; when I tried pressing the power button, I saw the fans trying to spin but stopping after 1/3 of a second. I opened up my side panel, shutted of the PSU, and then gave every cable inside a little push to make sure they were in place, but all of them were 100% in, so I have no idea if this was the cause. After this, it could boot again.

 

This has happened to me 5 times in total, 2 times during the period from when I got my PC (august) up til now, one time around christmas and 2 times today. So it seems to be fixed for now, but is there anything I can do/check to make sure this won't happen again? I don't think it's that healthy for the hdd because it happened when it was writing and it's of course not fun for teammates who see me randomly leave the game.

 

Thanks for the help!

it could be bad power coming to your pc or your psu starting to die

Might be the PSU.

Might be the PSU.

 

Is there any way I can check if this really is my psu dying? It's a corsair tx 750m so I think I still have warranty on it.
