Hi all,
My itx build just powered off under heavy load as if the psu switch had been flipped. It then tried to power back on the same way and repeated that cycle intermittently before I intervened.
The room was hot so I gave it a bit and tried it again, to observe under idle conditions to see if it was temp related. Same thing happened after about 3 minutes of operation.
On the bright side, nothing seems corrupted. Everything started normally and none of the other components seem affected.
The way in which it shut off (how it sounded and the way the power light operated) has me thinking the psu is faulty. Never had any problem before, which leads me to believe it's not a short on the mother board from an extra standoff or something.
I just wanted to get another opinion. I believe the psu is faulty possibly because the PC spent 3 months in a damp basement. I have ordered another to replace it. I just don't want to put it in and have it brown out all my parts because I got the diagnosis wrong.
Thanks for your time.
