Hello all, For the past 2+ years I have had to power my computer on by flicking the on off switch on my PSU to get it to boot past CPU check. I have reapplied thermal paste and brought a new CPU cooler and the problem persisted. I RMA'd my motherboard and the problem was still there. Recently my PC hasn't been able to last longer than 10 minutes when playing CSGO. I thought it might have been an overheating issue, so I cleaned out my PC and still the problem is there. I decided to do stress test individual components and my computer didn't restart. So I decided to do two at one time and it crashed almost instantly. My GPU usually gets to around 70c and my CPU is aroung 60C under full load.
I've read about vcore's and I've just checked mine and it's at 1.1V (not sure what that means).

PC SPEC
CPU i5 2500k (not overclocked)
Motherboard: P67 Sabertooth
GPU: AMD 6850
RAM: 8GB
PSU Corsair GS600 600 (600w)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Solution
I'd be inclined to contact Corsair about warranty - you should have ~6 months left on the warranty which is 3 years. Throw that puppy in Corsair's court, see what they'll do for you (you might just get a new "free" PSU here)

Is there anyway I can test that this is the problem without buying a new PSU? I'm pretty broke at the moment so I'm kinda hesitant to spend money if that isn't the fix.
Appreciate the help by the way :).

Cheers for the reply. Would you suggest I buy a PSU with more wattage?

Cheers for your help everyone. Guess I should get the ball rolling on either getting Corsair to replace it or look to buying a new one. Appreciate the help very much!!
