Hey, thank you for reading my post and trying to help because I'm becoming more and more desperate, Please , if there is someone who can help me, I'm literally willing to pay him. It's a semi-complicated issue but I'll try to make it as short and coherent as possible. I'm having an ongoing pc crashing problem for almost 10 months.[br]
Brief history of what I did and what happened before:[br]
I upgraded my PC, basically fully except GPU and PSU and everything worked well for like 4 months.[br]
After that period, my PC started crashing randomly, sometimes it ran for couple of days, other times even weeks before it crashing again,[br]
Sometimes just turning on and off power button on the power extension socket was enough, other times I had to re-plug my GPU before it started working again.[br]
All temperatures were ok, so it wasn't overheating.[br]
Knowing that I thought GPU might be the issue so I borrowed a new one, rx 590 and the same thing happened. It crashed after couple of days again,[br]
However that crash was different, I heard loud fan spinning on gpu, it ramped up to 100% before crashing.[br]
So I was convinced now that the old PSU must be the issue, because after that I had an accident where I saw literall smoke coming off from my pc case.[br]
I inspected everything, even PSU but nothing seemed to be damaged, I was even able to start the pc again after an hour or so.[br]
Anyway I bought new PSU, my old was corsair CX600 80+ bronze and I replaced it with Corsair TX750M 80+ Gold.[br]
Unfortunatelly that did not help it and I experienced another crash. But this time, probably because this new PSU is built different, having an additional failsafe mechanism or something in that nature, I wasn't able to start the computer again... well at least not normally. I had to use my old PSU to "kickstart" my PC so it would work again.[br]
I assume old PSU did not have that safe mechanism and that was the reason I was able to start my pc normally.[br]
Somehow after "kickstarting" pc with my old PSU, I was able to reconnect my new PSU again and for some wierd reason, it worked normally.[br]
I googled and asked around and I was told that I need to test different power extension socket and plug it to a different socket.[br]
That miraculously fixed it... so I thought... Today, after 4 months I experienced another crash. Pc won't boot and I will have to "kickstart" it with old PSU again it seems.[br]
Should I call an electrician or where do you think the issue may be?
