Allow me to clarify. Corsair make very good PSU’s, I have one in my main rig and it’s fantastic. I’m speaking specifically about the CX series. It’s a budget PSU.

And allow me to do the same, it isn't cheap and Corsair are not about making poor quality components. Unless it is damaged I wouldn't assume it was the cause of the issues.

Have you actually owned one? A CX series? I have, so I’m speaking from experience.
It IS considered a budget PSU from Corsair themselves.
Soldato
Ok so let's go back to what you originally said.
Andi
A budget PSU isn't necessarily cheap or unreliable.

Soldato
I’ll ask again, have you owned one?
Soldato
If you insist on dragging this away from solving the op's problem. Yes. Although I don't see the point you make. You've had one that caused you a problem, that's not going convince me they are all bad. If so Corsair would no longer be selling them and certainly OCUK would not stock them any more.

Soldato
Sure you have. Merry Christmas!
Soldato
And I believe you've had one break on you. My mining rig is running 24/7 on a 650W Corsair PSU.

Soldato
You like the last word, huh? At no point did I say it broke on me. I simply said I had one.
Anyway, reply as much as you like, I’m about to ignore you. Can’t be arsed with these childish replies, too busy.
OP, I reckon it’s your PSU.
Soldato
Yes but ok I'll leave you the last word if you want.

Key phrase here is that you said it fails more often after a cold start. Chips can fail very slowly and can show signs of when they mess up when they are cold, but operate normally when they are at running temp, or they run normally when cold and mess up when they are hot. A game and video editing will stress a PC because everything is running all at once so sounds to me like you are suffering a slow hardware failure. Could be the RAM, chipset or graphics card. I am guessing chipset. First things first though, make sure you are not overclocking anything.
