Seasonic PSU recurring bootloop again.

[Nickzz]

it seems like your 3.3v and 5.5 is lower than standard. though...have u tried to remove your usb device beside mouse and keyboard and see?

wah, thought must be at least +/- 5% then consider got out of spec problem already? The bios highlight 3.6 last round in red for my last psu. Now still white?

I dont keep anything connected to my pc before bootup each time except for the neccessary kb and mouse.

but now ur pc is running right? did u remove any component to test it?

Yup its running completely normal. Only when want bootup the issue will surface.

Reseated the ram this morning. But still have to wait, off and then wait for a while for it to boot normally.

but for this seems more like either rams or mobo issues. maybe u can do a ram test to see if your ram have issues.

Hmm memtest ah? Will try it tmr. But unlikely could be ram as i just sent my ram for check at corbell earlier this year and they okayed all the modules (tested in front of me running ramtest)

Just get a new PSU.

Dont think its your psu giving any issues. Your video shows more like it is trying to protect from shorting. Some of the things inside could have been shorted and causing the pc not to boot up properly. The sound could be one of your fans may prevent you from booting also. Remove that and see how it goes.

Might wanna check a few things. Only boot your board, cpu and ram. Remove everything else. Change your cable display to integrated graphics rather than gpu. Do not even include any storage drive. Main aim is to boot and able to enter bios. If it can turn on sucessfully each time. Slowly add the gpu and other things one at a time.

Also check if the psu internals are dirty. If it is, do not remove dust by opening the psu. I repeat, DO NOT attempt to open the psu. Use compressed air canister to blow the dust out from the psu.

For what it's worth, I had two seasonic psus fail within six months of each other. Though, they wouldn't even post at all. I would avoid that brand if I were you.

You can try removing your gpu as per what Roy said, but I experienced such issues before (with another brand) and the problem is usually the psu

I suspect the built-in anti-surge feature on your motherboard is producing false-positive readings while monitoring the output voltages of the power supply causing the boot loops.
The power supply’s output readings in the BIOS looks normal.
Do you have the Anti Surge Support enabled in your bios?(it's in the monitor tab of you bios)
If yes turn it off and see if it cures your problem.

Thanks. Have tried turning off the anti surge feature and it did boot up normally, no boot loop after i reseated the ram this morning. Will monitor again to see if it will happen again after a period of time off

Does that mean something in my system is faulty or surging, causing the anti surgebto happen and not psu prob?

High chance. Cause if you claimed that you keep changing PSU for a couple of times, then it cant be every psu also same issue. Must be somewhere that lies with the problem.

Monitor first. See how it goes. If it indeed solve your issue then good.

I don't know, cos the other time i had this problem was the psu so thought is psu again this time round.


Just tried turning on the pc after a short while, again got problem, even with the anti surge support disabled. So problem lies somewhere else?

I reseat the ram, still nothing.

Then I touch the gpu gently it boot up suddenly.

 

[Nickzz]

Do some stress test on cpu and run some graphic intensive programs or do some gaming and monitor those voltages.
If all is well might just be the asus surge protection being wonky, if not it is signs of the VRMs(most likely motherboard or gpu) failing. If it's the latter testing with a different gpu might help to marrow down to the motherboard if it is still happening.

Hmm furmark or something like that? But i heard it kills cards leh. Plus i never benched before. Dunno what to do. Then using hwmonitor to monitor or something? Cos after booting won't have the bios utility to monitor the voltages liao.

PSU likely to have failed. I have a friend who changes PSU every few months and the brand is coolermaster.

Been using my Seasonic 520W for 4 years before upgrading to Seasonic 600W 2 years back. It is cool and efficient.

I suspect your power coming in to your unit is not clean or your household wiring for that socket is overloaded. There are spike and especially Lighning during rainy seasons. Get a good Surge protector and new PSU to try it. Belkin Surge protector is reasonably priced.
