Hello all,
I am hoping someone can help me out as ideally I would prefer not to have to go through a 3rd RMA with corsair seeing as they don't cover postage costs, I'll be well on my way to paying for a 2nd PSU.
So it all started about 4 or 5 days ago, my computer will just randomly turn off, the conditions under which it happens seems to be when I am playing a game, however nothing too intensive or fancy. The shutdown is as if there has been a power cut in the house it's just instant and random. To get it to reboot I have to use the switch on the back leave it anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute then flick it back on and hit the power button. The frequency of this issue can vary from perhaps once in a day with the most being today with 4 times in the space of about an hour. The PSU is always at best warm to touch when this happens. The PSU is also 13 months old.
I tried using the self test feature on the PSU, to which I've had mixed results. the self test fails under the following conditions:
If both the 10 and 14 pin cables of the 24 pin cable are plugged in on the PSU and not the motherboard If both the 10 and 14 pin cables of the 24 pin cable are plugged in on the PSU and the motherboard If just the 10 pin cable of the 24 pin cable is plugged in on the PSU and the motherboard
Under all other conditions I have tried the self test feature works.
Any ideas on suggestions of what to try would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan
