psu stress testing

[dling]

Is there a good psu stress testing software thats free. My 3.3v 5v and 12v are off . Computer has been shutting down for no reason and I think it may be the psu.

I saw your other thread as well, can you still RMA it? Sounds like your PSU is definitely failing.

I wish . Got it in 09. I hate the thoughts of buying another power supply.

All you can do is stress the rest of the hardware. Try something like Prime95 and Furmark at the same time? (I take no responsibility for any explosions! )

I will run futuremark 11 and occt together. Thanks for helping my kill my psu.

I cant monitor desktop while futuremark in running to keep an eye on voltages.

Off to get a new psu. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0365789. This sucks.

Decided on the egg because of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139034 vs this http://cart.microcenter.com/cart.aspx?RedirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microcenter.com

if the Microcenter site will not show, their out the door price was 254.39. A 50 dollar difference. Crazy.

I can wait a few days.

Did you use software to measure your voltages?

 

Or did you get out a multimetr to test while it was loaded? I dont think, having seen your other thread, that things would be that wrong.

I used bios,occt and the evga e-leet tunning tool all read the same. The reason I started looking at stuff was the computer

kept restarting. It has restarted 5 times while trying to type this message. I was looking at temps using the occt stress test software when I noticed

the voltages were off so I looked at in bios and then the evga e-leet software. I monitored them at loads while occt and prime 95 ran,did not change.

It really sucks to have to spend 200 bucks just after Christmas on a fricking power supply.

You can use occt psu tester. I would get away from the BIOS voltage values and get an actual dvom that will be able to record what happens. A lab scope would be best but those are not cheap. Plug the leads into a moles connector and see if when you have a malfunction if it drops below 12 volts.

 

Others then that there is always newegg and there return policy.
