If system turn off by itself or difficulty to turn in on, it is something to do with PSU (it is nothing to do with software or malware or virus problem - it is pure hardware problem).
Hi guys, thanks for all your feedback. This PC is used by my brother just for light gaming such as Euro Truck Simulator 2, Minecraft, etc etc
Its an Armageddon AK3
PSU used now is Magnum Pro 275,
Based on the specs I googled, 275W pure power, 550W standard .
Can u guys recommend me a compatible replacement for it? Budget is preferably as low as possible (but must be average quality) since this PC is not for hardcore, intensed gaming
FYI, your PSU is very very cap ayam, I have seen a few of those fried. Change it to something better, Cooler Master offers a few model for non hardcore usage. If don't want Cooler Master then avoid unknown brand. Buy those that has 2 x 12V rail. But before skip to the conclusion as a faulty PSU causing your issue, also check for bad capacitor on your mobo, even though your mobo uses solid capacitor which is almost impossible to gone bad, but still do a check.
For under RM200 you could have a 500W from Silverstone or Acbel. But most likely its not power supply. If you could see inside your PC and check if the capacitors are in good shape. It would cause same problem also. But in some cases a change in the BIOS battery CR2032 would solve the problem.
Before spending top money do this check first.
- BIOS battery test for low voltage - Visually check capacitor for leaks - Borrow power supply to test
If the Pc is over 3 years, there are many things you should consider before dumping any more money on it. Else a new pc would be more logical in the long run.
