Hello,
1 week ago I finished building my pc. Everything went according to plan, and the bios showed up. I setup everything and installed Windows. As I was setting the date and time though, I inserted a usb sitick in a usb 2.0 port. as soon as the stick touched the port, the pc turned off and refused to boot again. In the beggining I thought that my mobo or cpu was fried, but when I returned them to the shop for testing (cpu, mobo, gpu and ram but not the cpu cooler and the psu), everything was working. I didn't suspect it could be the psu, because it passed the paperclip test (although the fan was really silent and was not spinning at full speed, but I guess it's because nothing else was connected, so there was no reason to be at full speed. it's a corsair CX600). Was it the psu's fault and if I change the psu and computer turns on, is there a potential risk of having the same problem when using the same usb port? Note that I connected the keyboard and mouse normally in different ports and nothing happened.
