HX850 failing?

So lately it seems like all is well then boom all power cuts to bored and shuts off for a mintue kicks back on then goes fine till it crashes again. ran 24 hours of prime 95 and looped unigine valley and wasnt able to replicate the crash but it keeps happening randomly.

also im not Recieving ANY bluescreen errors or memory dumps on restart.

I'd recommend unplugging all the psu conectors and make sure that then good order. I recently had similar symptoms on the same PSU and discovered that the main power cable to the board had melted.

It is also a good idea to check on what your voltages are in the BIOS and if your mobo has voltage check points to dig out a multimeter and check what is really going through it.

Of course this issue may not be PSU related, could equally be GPU, memory, mobo or even CPU.....

no burnt cables or issues with any of the sleeving wiggled cables around didnt shut off or anything :(

this is pretty much what they all look like

and that option is already unchecked

Unfortunatly event ID41 is just a generic error message and could be caused by any number of software/hardware issues other than the PSU. I believe in this case your only option is to go ahead and RMA the PSU or borrow one to test in your system to try and narrow this down. I would just hate to see you go through an RMA if it's not the issue.

 

It could even be a windows issue too!

 

What do your voltages look like? 12,5v,3.3v

12.056v on 12v 5.5 3.3 werer dead on i believe just crashed again too

idk ive never had any issues like this before without bluescreens. which im not getting and they are enabled.
