Yeah I thought about that....it tests OK and it is a quality Sesonic 850watt and I am not seeing any sudden failures or video failures or random reboots...just during restart and post but maybe that is what I need to try. ________________________________ From: Hardware <hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com> on behalf of lopaka polena <lopa...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2020 6:38 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com <hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com> Subject: Re: [H] Dead or Alive?
Yep, my first thought too on the power supply. I had a box doing that randomly so I hooked in an older but good power supply and all the problems stopped. My belief is that occasionally the power would dip just enough to cause problems. The power supply that I pulled tested fine with the 2 testers I had but it was actually going bad. I also had a weird problem that was similar where another box would reboot or shut down. Tried swapping PS but still the same problem.. I had a 4TB secondary HDD that had some movies on it and when I would try to access them the speed seemed way too slow. I pulled the drive just as a test and all the problems stopped. The drive passed all tests but had some major pauses and slowdowns in access times during tests but always passed. lopaka On Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 6:03 PM didymus7 <didym...@gmail.com> wrote: > Did you try swapping out the power supply? > > On 8/12/2020 9:00 PM, _ Winterlight wrote: > > My Asus P9 X79WS with I7 has been giving me headaches for months.
