i did that still getting random shut downs is it PSU ?

PSU is possible, but there is no reliable way of testing that without actually replacing it. Still, more likely is the motherboard or RAM. I'd recommend a new motherboard before a new PSU. If you have access to a different PSU, though, that's a different story. If you can easily replace the PSU, it would be good to try.

my PSU is still in warranty but i don't get if my PSU is bad how can my pc even boot if its bad i don't get that thing wat say jonathan ? is that possible

 

[Jonathan_King]

If the PSU is low-quality or just aging, you could get small voltage fluctuations and less overall power output. Your system could still boot, but you'd get random reboots and BSODs. If sending the PSU back under warranty is feasible, it is worth your time, but I'd still suspect motherboard or RAM.

haha is there any way to check PSU i just wanna confirm if my mobo is corrupt i'll buy a new rig but if not then just a replaced PSU

 

[jay93]

i think its my PSU because before my pc worked well!! can an faulty psu cause this problems? now m experiencing shutdowns at 55c of cpu i.e when i play games and then it does not start until i switch off my main power and switch it on after 2-5mins, sometimes i get frequent shutdowns,but re-inserting ram works,but now-a-days when i switch it on by above techniques just the fans rotate for a second and no beep is heard and then again i have to turn main power off or re-insert the ram i have to repeat it 3-4 times ................... please help guyz please

 

[jay93]

can this be caused due to new PSU ?

 

[Jonathan_King]

Did you already replace the PSU once before?

 

[jay93]

no i've lost the bill so can it be PSU by the symptoms

 

[Jonathan_King]

It could be the PSU, yes.

 

[jay93]

hmm so can i check my psu in some other rig and check it and check someone's psu in my rig ?

 

[gregrocker]

Yes, but make sure you have the needed wattage calculated first: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator

 

[jay93]

thx

 

[jay93]

lol it says 350 but i have an 550w psu

 

[jay93]

hmm i got my neighbor's psu and its working well even ram temp went upto 53c but all is fine no shutdown but my psu is also working well in my neighbor's now what can be the problem ?

 

[jay93]

ok so i observed few things when i was running on my neighbors psu i placed the psu out side the cabinet just connecting wires required it worked quite well with out any error or shutdown.then i switched to my psu i placed it same way i.e outside the cabinet and it worked quite well in both the cases the temp. went to maximum was stable then core temp was 50,motherboard was 60 and ram was 52c in both the cases. then i mounted my psu inside my cabinet and closed my cabinet doing this i got an shutdown after an hour as i used to get before what can be the problem?

 

[gregrocker]

You'd have to install the other PSU and run with it for awhile to know for sure.

 

[jay93]

i was on other psu with 3-4 hours it ws ok i think its my psu but it works well in others comp, and temps are ok as to me they are max to max 60c

 

[gregrocker]

So install it and confirm that.

 

[jay93]

i did problem only occurs when i place my psu in case . when its outside it works well
