Symptoms or Signs to Change your Computer SMPS / PSU
A SMPS or Power Supply is one of the most important parts of your computer. In various earlier articles in this blog only I have told you about its importance and how to find a good power supply for your PC. Also I have stated many times the importance of amount of Current on 12V Rail of a SMPS/PSU. If you have missed any of these articles then you can find and visit them using the links given below.

Symptoms or Signs to change your SMPS
Here are some signs that can tell you that it is the time to change or replace your SMPS / PSU to a new one.
Noisy Fan
Your SMPS or Power Supply has started making constant unbearable noise. This means your SMPS Fan bearings are worn out and it can stop or fail anytime. The performance of a noisy fan is also reduced and it will not spin at its original speed or RPM, which can lead to rise in the temperature of the components of your SMPS. This can cause overheating of your SMPS and it also possesses a serious risk to your computer components that are connected to the SMPS. So it is better to replace a SMPS whose fan is not working properly or to its full capacity.
Restarting Problem with PC
Your PC may be restarting when you play high end games or run heavy resource intensive applications. Your computer may restart because of several other reasons too but when everything else is right then the only culprit left for this problem is SMPS only.
Hanging Problem with PC
Your PC or computer may be hanging without any reasons. This can be due to other things also but this problem can arise because of old or faulty power supply.
Note: Most of these problems arise because either your SMPS has gone too old or it has become faulty. The efficiency of a Power Supply degrades over time because the capacitors looses their ability to hold the charge to its maximum capacity and performance of other components also decreases. Also a SMPS can become faulty because of improper voltage from the mains power or due to continuous voltage fluctuations.
Tips to Keep your SMPS in Good Condition
Here are some useful tips that you can follow to keep your power supply in good condition or to extend its life.
Clean the Fan
Clean the SMPS Fan and the vents with a soft brush once in a month. After that use a vacuum cleaner to pull away the dust and dirt. Do not ever try to open the SMPS for cleaning. Just clean it from the outside using brush and then vacuum clean it.
Do not Overload it
Do not overload your SMPS by adding power hungry components that are beyond its capacity. For example, by using a High-end graphics card with a SMPS that is rated only 400 Watt. If you are going to add more additional components or high powered components to your PC then you have to buy a high capacity SMPS that can handle them easily.
Use a UPS
Always use a UPS with your computer to protect your SMPS from frequent voltage fluctuations. Voltage fluctuations and improper voltage can damage your SMPS and your PC components.
Keep Good Airflow
Always use a spacious cabinet to allow proper airflow and breathing for your computer power supply and also for other computer components. The other main thing to follow is that do not keep the cabinet in a congested place where there are obstructions from all sides of the cabinet. There should a good distance especially from the back side of cabinet from the wall.

Sir, i am facing system restart problem sometimes when connecting cellphone by USB cable. So do i need to replace SMPS?
If yes, which one is best for me under ₹2000 to ₹3000.
It is not a SMPS problem but if you need a good SMPS in this range then go for Corsair VS450
Im still confused between corsair and cooler master. Which one is best in terms of warranty?
Both comes with 3 years warranty. To avoid confusion i say you go for Corsair VS450
Ok sir. Thank you.
One more thing, what is the importance of +12V Dual rail in SMPS over single?
You can read the whole details at https://www.akshatblog.com/single-vs-multiple-12v-rail-smps-psu-comparison/
Hey. I’m not really a hard core gamer, but I do play occasionally. My specs are AMD FX 8350 with Liquid Cooling by Corsair H60, Asus M5A97 mobo, GT 730 GDDR5 graphic card, 8 GB single channel Vengeance RAM, and my SMPS is also Corsair VS450.
I am experiencing system hang after playing GTA 4 after around 30 mins. It has never hanged like this before. I wonder what exactly is overheating.
I’ve kept the BIOS settings to normal to prevent overclocking as well. Any suggestions?
First monitor your cpu, graphics card and system temperature with HWMonitor http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html and then get back to me with that info.
I’m already using Open Hardware Monitor. The CPU records it’s max temp at 50-55 Celsius and system is in the same range, around 55 Celsius. GPU stays well below 50, in the 40s with max of 44 Celsius.
I was playing it now on 1280*720 resolution at 60hz and it’s running smooth now for well over an hour. However, the fan rpm does shoot up considerably, and I can’t really say for how long the SMPS fan would keep things cool. I’m not worried about the CPU temp cuz it’s a common sight for bulldozer, running in 50s C with liquid cooling at high performance.
So is there some way to improve this SMPS? I don’t have any slot left for more fans sadly.
May be a issue with game also. Is this happening with other games too?
Yeah I’m thinking the same. I’ve already come across various forums complaining the same about GTA 4. And no it has never happened with any other game. Not that I play the latest ones, but I do play Burnout Paradise with max settings and it’s really really smooth. So yeah I guess GTA 4 sucks on PC!
I got so worried that my rig was sham LOL 😛 But still, what a shame on Rockstar’s part
sir,
I am facing restart problems in my computer since 1 month. also it has become very slow.
whenever i open a application it takes lot of time to open.
and when am browsing internet or am watching any video or play games, my computer automatically restarts.
we even changed the ram two times but still it restarts automatically,
plus we even tried to install a new version of windows,but during installation it restarts, leading to incomplete process. Could be an smps problem? it just restarts whenever computer becomes very slow or when many operations are being done.
I request you to kindly reply to my problem.
Which SMPS are you having? and also please tell me the complete configuration of your system.
smps – intex atx 2.03 20 4 pin Pentium 4, ram 1 gb, intel g31 d -m7 biostar mother board. 3ghz processor 80gb hardisk
What do you want to ask?
thing is it’s getting restart sometimes after an hour sometimes after few mins of usage, also it shows high temperature of cpu after applying thermal paste, despite I put the fan and sink in a good position. can this be a problem of smps.?
Restart problem can be due to SMPS as you are using a very bad SMPS. I advise you to change your SMPS to something better. Get yourself VIP 400R Plus SMPS. It will cost you Rs. 1000/-
Power nt goes to monitor,keyboard,mouse, cpu fans working fine no beep sound plse help me
Check your RAM. Remove them and then put it again nicely. Also check with another RAM.
Hi,
My CPU turns on but for some reason the monitor doesn’t go through the welcome page, I have cleaned the fan n replaced RAM but still the same problem.
One of the local technician says it’s an smps failure and need to replace it and also OS has issues and need to reload… he also says he need to format only c-drive and doesn’t need to touch D&E drives and my data would be fine.
Am not sure if he is correct or playing around with me… please advise.
Thanks,
Which SMPS do you currently have? Also please specify your PC configuration.
Not sure about the smps brand but specs are I3 processor,500gb,Asus motherboard,2gb RAM.
you are not getting BIOS screen also?
No, couldn’t get through welcome page as it doesn’t allow (freezes)
Hmm. I think most likely the issue is with the RAM. Try removing and fitting in the RAM again in different slots.
I did it but no luck…not sure what the issue is!
Try it few more times. Also clean the RAM contacts and remove any dust from the RAM slots on your motherboard.
Ya sure and just a quick one..if we replace smps with a new one can it be done without any effect to hardisk and not losing the data? Also can only c drive be formatted without formatting D&E drives
You will not loose any data when changing SMPS but make sure the SMPS you are fitting is a good one. And yes you can format C: drive without formatting D: and E drives. You can do this by using a bootable Windows DVD.
Thanks a lot buddy for all your help, much appreciated😃
You are welcome my friend and please share this blog to your friends.
I have two problems,,My pc gets restarted when there is a power cut even with a 1000va ups attached to my pc ,but it only happens when i play games ,my second problem is that the hero or the character (player) in the game can’t Sprint after power cut
my specs are
8 gb ram
2gb ddr5 gtx 750 ti gpu
dual core 4rth
microtac 1000 va ups
and iball smps came default with the cabinet
Hello Anupam,
First of all please change your SMPS to Corsair VS450. That iBall SMPS is pure crap and is the root cause of all your problems. You can buy Corsair VS450 at http://amzn.to/29qv31X
Thank you sir, I will try
hello, i have problem with pc start up. My pc is working fine since 11 years. But yesterday when i started my pc, it starts normally with all beeps after 30-40 sec it freeze at welcome screen. I noticed that cpu power led was also off but monitor displayed frozen picture of welcome screen. All cpu led were off only cpu & smps fans are running. manual restart switch also not working. So i switched off main power then again started pc but same problem. Strange thing happning is that every time i start pc the cpu power led remains on only for 3-4 seconds then slowly goes off, and pc freezes at different stages e.g. at MB screen, windows loading screen, win welcome screen, even at desktop screen. After that i have to switch off mains. Also MB makes beeps like new hardware detected when power led goes off, while i have not touched, changed or attached any thing. Within 3-4 sec of boot up power led goes slowly off then after 5-6 sec all freezes. I want to know is this motherboard or smps problem? Please reply.. Thanks..
Please tell me your complete PC specs. If you use graphics card then remove it and fit it again. Also remove your RAM and then again insert it properly. Just do this and get back to me again.
mercury pi915glm, intel p4 3.0 Ghz, 1gb+512mb ram, 1gb ati radeon gpu, 500+80 gb hdd. I have removed smps, hdd, ram, gpu, dvd drive and reinserted all but same problem. Pc starts normally for 10-15 seconds then cpu power led goes off slowly but cpu and smps fan continues running, display freezes, mouse KB freezes, cpu power and restart switches not work after that.
Try running the PC without graphics card and also please tell me your SMPS model and its current on 12V rail.
I read here an smps power supply wear out with time? I have an amd phenom 2 with power color ati radon hd4850,4gb ddr2 ram and 1 tv hard drive running Windows 7. The smps is 450 watt umax and is 6 years old.
The hard drive gives clicking sound sometimes and also sometimes the pc becomes jerky. I got the hard drive checked and it is OK.
Checked the voltage of every wire of the smps and it is well within range.i have been suggested testing of smps. ? Never changed the hard ware. Also my CMOS battery is bad.Does the efficiency of smps drops with time
First of all UMAX 450 Watt is a terrible SMPS. It has got only 25A on the 12V rail (https://www.akshatblog.com/is-umax-450-watt-smps-enough-for-your-pc/) and which is not enough for a modern day PC especially with a graphics card. The clicking sound in your hard disk can be due to the fact that it is not getting the required power. Yes the efficiency of SMPS drops over time because the capacitors become weak. I strongly suggest you to change your SMPS to Corsair VS450 which is a branded entry level high quality SMPS. You can buy it here also http://amzn.to/2eFNUwE
Thank you so much for the quick reply! If there any other cheaper alternative if at all?
Not really. This is the best budget branded SMPS you can really trust.
I have read previous cases,,my case is – my pc is not starting at 1st attempt,,after 3-4 time main power on-off it is starting,,and after starting it is working without any problem.In 1st 3-4 attempts,the cabinet fan is on,but no display in monitor,,my smps is frontech600,,is it a smps problem? pls help.
could be.. if possible try it with another SMPS.
Sir,
Which component could be creating problem if sometimes desktop PC does not start in first attempt? Actually in first two attempts, PC starts only for about 2 seconds and then gets switched off automatically. Then finally the PC starts in 3rd attempt, and sometimes in the 2nd attempt only. UPS is working perfectly and there isn’t any sort of power interruption from UPS. The SMPS in the PC is of 250 watts and is around 9 years old. This problem started few weeks ago.
Please give your opinions sir.
Hard to say from here but it can be motherboard, RAM or SMPS.
My smps corsair vs550. My ups model microtek heritage gold 625va.
When playing games with heavy load, my ups constant beep with red light and pc shutdown.
But without ups playing heavy games about 4 hours continue without any problem from direct electricity.
Please tell me What’s my problem ups or smps? and solution???
Well here your UPS is unable to keep up with your power supply.
Can you please suggest me any compatible ups model for my system
System – core i5, 16gb ram, corsair vs550 smps, gigabyte motherboard, graphics card – gtx 1060 mini 3gb, 2 fans…
Go with APC BX1100C-IN Back UPS 1100VA https://www.akshatblog.com/best-budget-ups-for-pc-in-india/#APC_BR1000G-IN_UPS_1_KVA
Thanks for reply
Please tell me- my smps overload of the ups, or faulty ups?
could be anything or both
My pc suddenly shutdown and ups constant beep with red light.
But without ups my pc running successfully what’s the problem?
i think the ups is faulty
Cpu start but no display. Average 10 years old smps. Its possible to problem from smps. Help me.
check your RAM and which smps are you using?
1-Apc or microtek which ups brand is compatible in Indian electricity???
2-Which ups model is best for corsair 550 watt smps with full loading?
Both are compatible but APC is better than microtek.
Sir,
My desktop PC is getting switched off just 1 second after getting started. And then in subsequent attempts, it does not start at all. My UPS is perfect and is continuously supplying the required power to the PC. My PC is having a 250 watt SMPS which came factory-fitted in my PC when I purchased it around 10 years ago. Sir please give your suggestions and help me solve the problem.
Thanks in advance!
I think the issue is with your SMPS and you need to change it. Can you tell me your SMPS model and your PC configuration.
Sir I am using a HCL branded desktop PC so there is no specific brand or model no. written on the SMPS.
My PC configuration is :-
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 (32-bit)
SMPS: 250 watt (HCL Infosystems)
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 @ 2 GHz × 2
RAM: 2GB + 1GB = 3GB DDR2 RAM
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA945GCM-S2L
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB @ 7200 RPM and,
A standard DVD-RW drive.
I am also planning to install a Zotac Nvidia GT610 graphics card in a few months.
On SMPS there is a table where you can look at +12V column and read the amount of current under it. Looking at you PC specs i think the problem is with your SMPS and you are also planning to install graphics so i advise you to get Corsair VS450 SMPS.
Sir I think my SMPS gives around 20A current on the +12V rail, but I am not quite sure.
Will Corsair VS450 work with my APC 600VA UPS after I install the graphics card? The UPS can give max. 350 watt output only.
20A is too less for your PC. Corsair VS450 should work fine with your UPS but in future you can upgrade your UPS too to higher rating.
My desktop PC is getting switched off just 1 second after getting started but gets started at some point after several attempt and continues to works fine at first attempt until it gets disconnected from the main power supply. . My PC is having a zebronics 400 watt SMPS .My CPU is over heating and also i found a clicking sound from hard disk .i controlled heating and clicking sound by reducing power supply to the processor available in the ‘power option’. My PC is 7 years old and this problem started only before two weeks.Already i have changed some hardware in SMPS due to some problem of blasting by low voltage and direct use of power from the UPS that is used for powering home.I cleaned heat sinks and properly applied thermal conducting paste but the problem exist.I need advice on what to do next. whether to change SMPS or some other problem.
I think the problem lies with the crappy Zebronics SMPS. I strongly suggest you to change your SMPS to Corsair VS450. You can read more about it at https://www.akshatblog.com/corsair-vs450-review-best-budget-branded-smps/
My pc not installed graphics driver in 64bit but Install same driver in in32bit ye kaise sahi hoga
Download the 64-bit drivers for your video card.
I have but not installed
Which video adapter / card you have and can your share the link for download
My PC stopped working suddenly when i restared it after a heavy use, after failing to start/restart from CPU, i turned it off & on directlly but then every time “monitor goes to sleep” i can hear the sound of CPU & SMPS is on. my brother had changed his pc’s SMPS 3-4 times because of heavy use & overheating & by observing his problem i am quite sure that my pc have the same problem, want to know your opinion.
May be a problem of corrupt Windows also. Reformat and re-install windows.
Hi sir please help me.. my PC restart several time and my CPU fan & cooler fan running after I shutdown my computer… I’m facing this problem after I plug new smps to my computer
which smps are you using?
Mercury 450
I suggest you to change your SMPS
Yeah I changed my smps but still my pc restarting every 20mins.. Processor fan also not running sir
Then it may be an issue with your RAM or motherboard
Hi i was searching information related to smps and came across your blog can you please help me out. I think my smps is not working but i am not sure. The pc had been slow in booting for quite sometime and the hard disk was also making some noise and eventually it stopped loading the os so i changed my hdd but recently the ethernet card led started blinking and then the pc stopped and restarted but the noise of the fan was not as it was before. it seemed very low. i swtiched off the computer from the main then powered it on and it wont boot i again swtiched off the main. I have three questions.
1. Do i have to replace my smps?
2. Since i switched off the main and turned it on again could it have damaged my motherboard?
3. Can switching the main damage the new hdd (seagate 1tb barracuda 7200rpm)?
(Main – power cord plugged into the socket on the wall)
Here are my specs.
SMPS: Circle – 400W +12V – 14A
Motherboard: MSI Award 7131
Pentium 4
1 GB Ram
Thanks in advance.
I advise you to change your SMPS to Corsair VS450. Which OS are you using?
I was using linux peppermint but i thought the pc was booting up very slow because of the 1gb ram and probably corrupt hdd so i was trying to install linux lite when it stopped booting even the bios. is there a cheaper alternative to corsair? my dad uses the pc for general browsing in fact it only has hdd no cd rom or dvd drive. Also is my hdd and motherboard ok is there a way to check it?
Thank you once again for the prompt reply very helpful.
How much is your budget for the SMPS? you can check hard disk and motherboard using another SMPS.
Thank you so much Akshat for the quick reply. I am looking at a budget of around 1-1.5k. The circle brand smps lasted me for 6 years. I dont know if that is good or bad although i have read your article which says that Circle brand is not good. You know the hardware specs and the usage so if you think Corsair would be the best then i would go for it but if i can get something similar for a lesser price without compromising on the quality then please do suggest. I would go with your recommendation since you are an expert in this. Thank you once again for the all the help much appreciated.
Well if you want cheaper yet reliable option then the best i can recommend is the Artis VIP 400W Gold SMPS. You can get this SMPS at https://www.akshatblog.com/artis-vip-smps/
Using hp pavilion p6040in since last few weeks desktop shut down unexpectedly one technician replaced smps make was hipro replaced by intex it was ok for two months again same problem when i click start button it may or may not start or after few minutes it may start and run for uncertain time
Get a good branded SMPS from Corsair, Antec or Cooler Master. I suggest you to go for Corsair VS450.
sir,
WHEN I STARTUP MY PC IT GET STUCK AT COMPANY LOGO SCREEN AND NOT MOVE FOR FURTHER PROCESS. WHENEVER I STARTUP MY PC IT START QUICKLY AND NORMALLY BUT AFTER 30 OR 40 SECONDS IT SHUTDOWN AUTOMATICALLY AND THEN NOT STARTUP TAKE PLACE AND NO FLOW OF CURRENT IN CPU ASSEMBLY. AFTER 2 OR 3 MINUTES,IT STARTS AUTOMATICALLY AND THIS HAPPENS CONTINUESLY AFTER STARTING OF PC. THE PROCESSOR GET HEATED AT 55DEGREE CELCIUS.PLZ HELP ME SIR, I AM SUFFERING THIS PROBLEM FROM ABOUT 1YEARS.
Which SMPS do you have? Also tell me your complete PC specs.
system-Acer,processor-intel(R)core(TM)2 Duo CPUE7500 @2.93GHz,Ram-2GB,Harddisk-300GB,32bit operating system,smps company-LITEON, the processor get heated a lot,and the led of processing is glowing rapidly and it doesn’t blink.
What is your CPU Usage in Windows Task Manager when Idle?
sir,
when i disturb the ram slot inserting ram in it,pc process nicely.and it works fine better than previous. i think my ram slot is damaged.sir how can i repair this? and why processor get heated.and the cpu usage is 5 to 7%.
I have faced this weird kind of RAM issue when just pushing or disturbing it makes it work. You cannot repair the RAM slot and I want you to test the RAM slot with another RAM. If your processor is overheating then change your thermal paste. Buy a good thermal paste preferably from Cooler Master or Arctic.
it means the smps is correct? and in motherboard,there are 2 ram slot and i checked both of them but both of the ram slot is damaged and the ram is correct.thank you so much sir.
i am applying your suggestion.
Yes i think that the SMPS is okay.
Dear Akshat verma sir
My PC fan spins on & off every 5 seconds and Monitor going power saving mode, no hdd led , no beeps if I remove RAM while checking, no power to keyboard and mouse
I’m very much worried
Please let me know your suggestions.
Which SMPS and OS are you using?
Zebronics 450W purchased before 4 years
OS is windows 7
Also for this problem and also since it is old PC, I thought of buying few new parts,so i bought new Mercury MEG31XA Motherboard, new mercury 450W SMPS, but still no display, no hdd led blinks, no beeps, no power in keyboard and mouse, only fan spins
I’m fully fedup with this issue that what was wrong
So Please help me out…
I think it is RAM issue so test it with another RAM.
i am using Gigabyte 78-lmt usb3 motherboard with a amd-fx6300 processor from last 4 year.
recently I noticed that if i do multitask then the desktop lost power after an hour.
if i only run the windor media player or vlc player then its running fine whole day , but if i run both player or doing some work with media player running in background thenits lost power (not shut-down) after an hour.
if this is a SMPS proablem?
What SMPS are you having?
sir iam using
forntech 450watt SMPS
Ok.. what do you mean lost power?
yes sir
not shut down, it like machin is running and sunndely i pluged out the 3pin port from eletric board .
How much RAM you have and what version of Windows are you using?
crossair 4gb ram
and window7
ok..is it 64-bit?
and one more thing
when i press the power on button of CPU then the processor start spinning and make some noise but the monitor gets power after 2-3min later.
I think something is strange with the PSU. You should get a better one, preferably Corsair VS450..
I have problem with my PC, when i trying to Switch On my PC then it starts running Fans and automatically goes Off after 2-3 sec. I trying to do it again again then after 4-5 times of trying it starts and Boots … I thing its the problem of SMPS, coz Power is fluctuating…
I hope i will get a replay soon in my mail..
What SMPS are you using?
Specifications:- Asus H61M-K motherboard. Intel Pentium dual core processor, 2.9 GHz, G2020, 3 MB cache. RAM – 2GB+2GB DDR3(1333). ROM – Previous- Samsung(500GB), Now- Seagate barracuda(500GB). AsiaPower UPS. iBall PSY -225 SMPS(AC input – 230 VAC 50/60 Hz ; DC Output – +3.3v 15A, +5v 15A, +12v 18A, +5vsb 2A). OS – Windows 7(32 bit earlier) ; Windows 7(64 bit now).
Usage:- No gaming. Photoshop editing. Audio-Video playing. Data transferring. No internet.
Issue:- The system was running very smoothly for almost 4 and a half years. No issues so far. Suddenly S.M.A.R.T error appeared and hdd failed. Went to the repairing shop to check for SMPS and HDD. He checked and said there is no issue with smps and hdd is corrupt. I changed the hdd and all was good. But the problem was whenever I connected an external hdd to the usb port, most of the time I heard clicking sound coming out from the external hdd. I stopped using the external hdd in the usb port. I have also some issue with the usb port of the cpu box. I thought if I don’t use the usb pirt I will be fine. But just after 5 months of the new internal hdd, it starts giving clicking sound and suddenly got corrupted. NOW, if the usb port is faulty then how come the internal hdd got problem, that’s my concern. Also, if the repairing staff told that smps is working fine then how cone the hdd got corrupted. As I regularly clean up my system for dust.
Request:- I am not a gamer, I just do a lot of data transferring. And moderately use photoshop for editing. I think my computer specifications is very outdated so I want to upgrade it by a whole set of new cpu. KINDLY SUGGEST ME THE PARTS I NEED TO GET TO ASSEMBLE A GOOD CPU. ALSO SUGGEST ME A GOOD UPS.
I just gave you all details. Thanks in advance sir.
Please specify your budget for the same and what do you mean by data transferring?
Thanks for reply.
I need a CPU and UPS. Budget is 13-15K max.
Data transferring means I transfer downloaded data to my external hdd. From my mobile I transfer the data to my computer via otg pendrive then I put all in external hard drive. I mostly use the usb port.
For data transferring, you PC is pretty okay, and the only thing you need to change is the SMPS and the UPS. For SMPS, I suggest Corsair VS450 and for UPS, I recommend APC BX600C-IN 600VA UPS.
Sir I have purchased a new pc last year in August and my configurations are (processor i5 8600k, 8gb of ram, 1050ti graphic card, 2tb HDD, 120gb SSD and SMPS is Corsair vs650) and I am facing a restart problem since few months. Whenever I i play games or run some 3d modelling software it gets restart without of any error.
I think it is a SMPS issue and to verify it, you should test your system with another SMPS.
Sir my system has become too slow while start up and working. I have formatted the disk and installed windows 7 but it took more than 3 hours to get installed.
I cleaned the cpu and did dusting.
My system has RAM of 4 GM , Hard drive is 250 GB and core 2 duo processor.
Please tell me what should be the problem?
Check your hard drive for errors using crystaldiskinfo https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/
Sir it show Caution. Means hard drive is damanged . So I need to replace the hard disk?
Please send me the screenshot by uploading it on https://imgur.com/upload
I have uploaded the screenshot
Send that link please, the uploaded one.
This is the link- http://imgur.com/gallery/YzcEJpz
For now, it looks not that bad.
Hello sir.
Mere pass core 2 duo hcl computer hai jiski 2gb ram 2.94ghz cpu hai. Smps 200 watt. Abhi use upgrade kark 1 ssd 256gb aur 2*2gb(4gb) laga liya. Wo normally chalu hokar koi bhi application open hote hi automatically shut down ho jata hai. Kya mujhe smps change karna chahiya ya phir aur bhi problem ho sakta . Please madat kare..
I think you should upgrade your PSU to 450W. I suggest Corsair VS450 SMPS.
I changed my SMPS yesterday because my old SMPS is not working properly so I replaced my old SMPS to New SMPS but my quantum’s keyboard is hanging with new SMPS but other keyboards are working properly with new SMPS but my quantum’s keyboard is working properly with my old SMPS but with new SMPS it is hanging.
will you please help me what is the problem?
I think the issue with the quantum keyboard itself.
But, Sir, with my old SMPS the Keyboard is working properly.
Strange! Try with another USB port.
Audio output not working still i have updated audio driver ….
Smps have any link with that? After changing smps i have met a problem…why sir?
Well, there is no link between SMPS and Audio as such.
Ok sir….thanks
Hello there!! Sir i’m fascing this problem approx 5 or 8 times i think. 1st my speca r- Amd anthlon 2 260 dual core processor.

And today my computer gets stuck on welcome screen..
Then i restarted it and after approx 2 hours it again restart automatically.
Whats the problem i’m i fasing plz tell me sir!!!!!
It could be an issue with the SMPS or RAM.
Ok!!! Very very thanque sir…
1 last query is that can i purchase Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050ti 4gb and use it with my pc specs that i send to u…… this is the last query plz answer me sir!!!!
You can but your CPU is quite underpowered and the card won’t be able to deliver full performance. The best match for your system would be GeForce GT 1030.
Ok thx sir but can u plz explain me a little bit. Exactly what i can see after applying gtx 1050ti in my pc what would i see. I mean to say i have to face some kind of problem after that or what?
Or u mean to say i cannot see full graphic card performance that’s what u want to say sir?
Yes, you need a better CPU to get the maximum performance of the card.
Hmmm!!! Ok ! The main thing u want to say. If i add gtx 1050ti in my pc, then i see lags and shutters while playing games. But when i normally use my pc for work like typing and watching moves and songs. Its work fine is that what u want to say. Sir?
Yes, you are right.
Thx!!very much sir…

Buying online on amazon is safe but make sure the order is amazon fulfilled.

The service center of that company. Check https://www.coolermaster.com/in/en-in/where-to-find-service-center/
But sir i’m livung in patiala, punjab, india.
I have no service centre near me that’s the main problem….
Then it is better to get it offline even it costs you a bit more in the offline market. I suggest you get it from a reputable shop.
Thx for your consult sir!!!!
Anytime!
Sir pc used to take lot of time to shut down. Now i am not able to start the pc itself. There is power in usb but on pressing power button i am not able to turn on the pc or reach to bios. i was able to start it by resetting the cmos but after that once i shut down it took time then it was never able to start. Do you think its power supply issue
Could be. What power supply do you have?
Corsair VS450 . Its now almost 5 years old
You need to crosscheck the issue with another PSU or PC.

Hi Sir , I am having trouble having system recently. Last friday night, monitor went blank and power light blinking whenever I press power key. After 1 day it started. 1 day same happended. Now when I put system to put in sleep from windows, same started again. And I also noticed that not only power light, when I press any key from keyboard, keyboard light blinks for a while, no light in mouse. Inside cpu fan is running.
What PSU and RAM do you have? Also, please list your complete PC specs.
PSU is from Frontech 600W and RaM from HP 4GB (hynix chip) DDR3.
PROCESSOR – i3 2nd Generation
Motherboard – Gigabyte H61 MS
HDD – 1 TB WD Blue, 500 GB Seagate
Both are Hard Disk, 2nd one purchased recently
I suggest you to check your PSU and RAM.
My pc zebronics g41 ddr2 with 2gb ram and pentium 2ghz my pc new hardsrive auto disconnect and make clickingnoise sometimes and my smps is making short circuit and pc freeze sometimes and sometimes is shows blue screen of death ram harddive motherboard is only one month old
Replace your SMPS asap. I suggest Corsair VS450.
My pc isn’t turning on 😭 is this a smps problem? My power cord was burnt and i replaced it and the new one is perfect and it’s working correctly as moitor power connection so is this a smps problem?
What SMPS do you have and what is your PC specs?
can corsair cv-450 handle this system ? Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3L
AMD FX-6100
2 x 8GB DDR3 RAM
Video card- AMD RADEON R5 340X
1 SSD 120GB
1 HDD 7200 RPM -3.5 inch
5 x chassis fan -120 MM
Quite Comfortably.
Dear Sir, I want to Know That What is fault in the The PC, that Keyboard is Giving a fault ,as ” The Fault is Showing in Monitor that ” When I Press Any Key in Keyboard , It is Showing any Letter – Double , Tripple and Many more.” PLEASE TELL ME THAT ” IS THIS KEYBOARD FAULT OR SMPS Fault.
Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and give the Solution.
It is a keyboard fault.
I’m fasing keyboard and mouse working problem… It’s stopped working saying usb device not recognized…. I update windows many time, after update they work few days good but again same problem.tired of this…should i have change the smps?
I don’t think SMPS is causing this problem.
So what it should be? Plz suggest.
Can’t say without a proper diagnosis. It could be faulty USB ports, faulty USB drivers, faulty mouse/keyboard, etc.
Hi sir..
My system specs are
AMD Ryzen processor 7 3700X
Msi motherboard X570
Corsair Ram
Cooler master SMPS Gold MWE 750
Gigabyte graphics card Radeon 8gb
.
The issue is, while turning on the pc, led lights in the mother board and cabinet blinks, fan spins for a second and offs.. then no response.
.
What can be the issue sir?
Reseat the RAM and graphics card and monitor again.
