Hi Guys
i got a used PC (i7 - 3820 with a Gigabyte x79-UD3 Mainboard - all was perfectly fine
in some other discussions within the Forum someone recommended me to change my PSU to get better Overclocking results and because the old PSU was "crap".
Well - done - i work in a IT company and i got a Corsair Hx750i (160 euro Platinum PSU - i thought it must be a good one) for a very good price (80 euros only) because they got some Partnership (it was not among the once i got recommended within the Forum - they recommended much cheaper once - but after reading some very good reviews i decided to give it a try...
What happened - first PSU was a Dead on arrival - well that can happen
they sent me a new one - this one worked very fine for like 5-6 days - but from this moment on i had a problem with running on my Stable (and very moderate) overclock- really moderate one that was already easily handled from my old Be Quiet PSU
after 5-6 days - i tried again to make a overclock (back to this moderate one) - but MB simply refused and asked me to revert to standard settings - 2 days later - the PSU was no longer able to Power up half of the stuff like my Mouse Dongle for the Wireless mouse - a USB hub - my Keyboard.... and also suddenly Boot time (SSD!) went up to 2+ minutes!
I unplugged this PSU - plugged in the old PSU and all worked fine again:
EXEPT:
1. the boot time still remains at 2 min. - AFTER BOOT ALL Read and Write times are totally fine!!!! but firing the system up causes a long delay
2. Also my stable standard overclock was fine for just 1 run with the old PSU - then suddenly shut down the PC and it does not accept any more this overclock - also asked my to revert BIOS back to "standard settings"
all the other problems are gone - so the Corsair PSU is definitely the source of problems!
well now my Question - do you think that it messed up my Processor or my MB? or both?
how can i find out what the problem is and try to eliminate it? is there a way?
Would really appreciate help from you guys....
the only thing i did not try so far is - to plug SSD into a different PC and see how long it will take... but will try that ASAP to see if the PSU maybe damaged something on hy SSD or if the fault comes from the MB or Processor....
cheers
