I have read many peoples problems about PSU problems on here and you guys are pretty helpful so I decided to ask you guys. So, I am a newbie to computer, I bought a "Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX" from Cyberpowerpc.com when I made my custom built computer. I did my research on graphics cards and cpu but not PSU.
To simplify the text below: had problems turning the computer on, had problem with motherboard, temperature readings on mother board changed drastically, and I smell something like burning rubber. The problem I think is that my power supply is failing, what are your opinions? Is there a way to check psu stability without opening up computer, like maybe on software? Any help would be great, thank you.
Here is what happened in detail: yesterday on 3/3/16 I turned on my computer. The light turned on and the screen kind of froze. So I manually turned it off and on. This time keyboard stopped working. I turned it off then on. It started up the usual way. Everything seems fine. Later through out the day I would shutdown computer and restart it, still everything is fine.
The next day today, 3/4/16 I turned computer on. The light for computer turns on, makes a sound like its reading a disk, maybe ram, but the sound was persistent. The monitor didn't turn on. I look down at my monitor the motherboard doesn't display temperature readings says 00 Celsius. I unplugged it from the wall and turning it on and off. I saw that the motherboard displays 04 Celsius.
I repeated the process the display screen on the mother board showed different numbers too fast to keep up with," B7, E4, etc" and then finally it went up to 64 Celsius. My motherboard never went up to 64 Cecilius and I don't think that it is a safe temperature. After some time temperature went down to 32 and monitor turned on.
I sometimes feel like I can smell burning rubber. I have read online that it can be because of dust or the psu is burning up.
Edit: Well the numbers I saw were not from my mother board but my cpu according to Cyberpowerpc support. The customer support suggest I do a memory test, maybe there is a ram error.
