It did stop having problems once I unplugged the USB going to the PSU. But also I did another fresh OS install and plugged it in but this time without HWINFO (did install icue but disabled it from autostarting, and did install Aida64). No issues so far but also since I don't need icue other than for the usb driver, I cannot see any readout from psu in Aida64 or anything else. I am too nervous to enable icue to autostart and to enable its sdk support.
