Unsure...
So, I have a respectable system (12700KF, 6800XT, etc) running on a Corsair SF750 PSU. The PSU was tested with a 9900K and 3090 under HEAVY loads to make sure it worked fine. But now I'm experiencing some odd issues.
About 8 or 9 weeks back, maybe a few more actually, I updated AMD Graphics drivers and when my PC rebooted into Windows, it powered down. I tested everything and used a PSU tester too, nothing. This made me think the PSU had failed. However, before deeming it so, I tried a new kettle lead and I magically had power again.
This evening, I got home from work, powered on my PC, it hit Windows, and powered off. I tried a new kettle lead immediately, and nothing. Ruled out the lead. I tried my PSU jumper to see if the fans would work (On a PWM hub), nothing. This left me perplexed somewhat. About to rule out a dead PSU... I grabbed the only PSU I have here, an NZXT S650... Doesn't have enough PCEI connectors sadly, so I pulled mine from the Corsair and had a good look to see in the pin-out was the same, it isn't. Anyway, I didn't even connect the NZXT PSU. I reconnected everything in my rig, and pressed the power button one last time... And I have power again.
My system shouldn't pull anywhere near the over-power protection for the SF750 (It's around 930W). I'm thinking that it's actually faulty and it on it's way out? As this is an issue that isn't replicable I'm struggling to figure out how to actually diagnose the issue too.
Any ideas?
