Default HX1000 Random Shut Off

Sorry for my noob english

I experience random shut off when playing games. I cant powerup my rig after that.
I can use it again after 1 or 2 hour.

I already test it with paper clip, sometimes the fan is spinning , sometimes not.
I test it with casebuy power supply tester but the led not lights up

I test the psu onto another rig, i cant powerup also

can i rma it without the shop receipt?
btw im live in malaysia

Where did you purchase the PSU? I would ask the reseller if they can help you if not then Let's get it replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it.

Check psu temperature and psu fan. Maby your component inside psu is overheat and enter in protection mode.
