My Gaming PC Randomly Died (How I Fixed It)

[Generic_Handle]

Reminds me of when my PSU exploded. It was a no-name PSU that was 12 years old and when it died it somehow took out no components with it.

[DementedApe]

Hey at least the psu did its job and didn't take any components out with it

I've have an ancient Corsair 760i PSU from 2012 and it's still going strong. What a beast.

Thanks man. Everybody talks about how to build a PC but not about great troubleshooting steps

NZXT does a good job making the C1000s seem premium, but in actuality they are only C-tier units, which shouldn’t be used on 1200$+ computers.

Respect for Zach for recording his PC every second of his life so he could capture how it turned off

[mostafasamy]

Btw man, if this is your second psu to die, you might wanna check all the wall plugs in your house because it might be that the voltage or the current in your house is not stable, my friend had this issue with his house's wiring and it almost cost him his pc

I had lightning hit some power poles outside my house years ago. My PC did not like it at all. Get a good surge protecter for your PC. Maybe a UPS aswell

[SlitbackJholte]

Do power supplies come with the cables, and if they don’t were do you find the cables?

[Alirezarz]

Corsair PSUs are really good they might not be the best but damn they work fine for a long time

[InternetSlumlord]

People need to stop buying NZXT. Don't know how many times I've seen their products go bad when I was working at a PC shop.

Just an FYI for anyone that has their PSU randomly die while being plugged in to an extension cable: try another slot. Sometimes, the load starts frying the slot and trips the circuit breaker, which won't let you power on again. It also happens when you let the computer go into sleep mode.

I literally asked myself yesterday, if NZXT PSU are a thing (I live in germany, they're either not very popular here, or nowhere) and today I see this short....thanks man

[enigmence]

That has to be the most well-kept cable managed PC I’ve seen yet.

[StrikkerBAR]

I love how that FE 3080 looks, doesn't seem oversized, doesn't seem to be too tall, seems perfect... Unless its waaaay longer than my 1650 lmao (100% sure it is lol)

[sethbessinger]

That PC looks nice! I’m thinking of switching to PC soon, so I might get a white case.

[VyniuxRy]

who else have come across this video multiple times but still stayed to watch since the content is great?

[Bestg-widb]

Nice work and btw your white pc is beautiful

If you try to restart with the power button and it doesn't do it, try removing the power cable, count to 3 and plug it back in. If it starts up after doing this it's almost certainly the power supply. It may also be some component that is partially defective and draws too much power. Power supplies can be damaged by the power grid they are plugged in, I always recommend using some overvoltage /surge protection . Modules that are installed in your house fuse box panel can be used too, to protect the whole house.

Crazy how an popular brand psus randomly break when on idle and psus from less known companies never break
