Hi,I came here in hope to get some insight into a problem that I've been having with my PC regarding my PSU.
About a week ago my PC crashed while playing some PUBG and when it restarted I got a Message saying it had been shut down due to unstable Power Supply Unit(Asus anti-surge),after running setup the PC came back on and it was completely normal for about 4 days,and then it crashed again(this time idle,I wasn't even near the PC,came back to see it on the"unstable PSU press F1 to run setup screen).After that,I've been able to turn the PC on every morning,and I always check the voltage on BIOS before going in,they're normal.When I get into the desktop I open HWMonitor and all voltages are also normal,I'm able to play games,even demanding ones no problem but After some time(5-6 hours) the voltages start to drop on the 12V rail,2 days now I've actually seen them drop to 10.9-11.1,go back to 11.7,start moving like crazy in the 11.1-11.8 range and shut down the PC myself,yesterday It got crashed again cause I wasn't on the PC at the time.
My question is,can this be something other than the PSU?I mean, wouldn't a faulty PSU fluctuate from the start and not only after hours? It seems like clockwork a little after 8pm the voltages start to drop,no matter what I'm doing.Tried different power plugs,resat the PSU cables onto the Mobo and GPU.
Also,If it is a faulty PSU,is it dangerous to play my 5-6 hours a day until it crashes or I have to shut down until I get a new PSU?What could voltage drops do other than data corruption?
