Cozy2522 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 In the almost 3 months I have had my current PC I have had a few problems here and there, mainly on the build phase of it but after that it was pretty much flawless. However I was just surfing the web and playing a game at the same time and my computer randomly shuts off. By shut off I mean it just went from running fine to off in a millisecond. The first thought that came to mind was that my CPU overheated, after looking through my case I don't believe that was the problem, my H100i tubes were cool, the radiator was cool as well as the water block. My second thought was that the PSU blew, I think it is the best odds for what happened, the computer will not turn on or show any signs of life. Unfortunately I don't have a back-up PSU easily accessible to swap and find out for sure, is there any other way to check it? It is the Corsair RM650 fully modular PSU, my 2nd one since I bought the parts in 12/2013, the first blew on the initial power up after build completion. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Cozy2522 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I borrowed a cable tester and plugged the cable from the PSU to the mobo into the appropriate slot and tried it out of the case and nothing came on. I tried the same with a spare PSU out of a different PC and it worked, just to make sure the tester worked. I went ahead and started the RMA process through corsair, hopefully it get taken care of as I'm without a gaming PC until it gets fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 please post your case or RMA# here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozy2522 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 My ticket is #6439976. Given that any time I have a parts failure its always friday afternoon-evening when the companies support is closed. I guess if I didn't have bad luck I would have no luck at all LOL.
