Just an update for those looking at this in the future. I was able to use my brothers PSU for a week since he went on vacation and never had a random reboot. I ended up RMAing the PSU right after that week and Seasonic sent me the new one. I have now had the new PSU in my system for a week...

Nah it's pretty tight. My house is 110 but my wife never has a problem with her computer so I can't imagine it being a 110/220 deal. The Kill-A -Watt reads 122. Day 2 with my brothers PSU and still hasn't turned off.

So far my brother 500w CPU is working fine. I also got a Kill-A-Watt meter and am very surprised at how little power the 350k and 560ti take. I was running Furmark and Intel Burn test at the same time and my PC never went over 300w of usage.

I actually have been trying all the things that people have been suggesting. I am takings trip to my brothers today because he generously let me borrow his 550w PSU for a week.

I had an accidental discovery yesterday. My computer was turning off and resting like crazy on Sunday so I decided to change the power cable that goes from the wall to the PSU. That stopped the spontaneous shutdowns for a couple of days. Then yesterday, it turned off and restarted about 3...

Well, it happened multiple times today. I have had the side doors off the case for over a week now thinking it was the same thing and also changed the power cable going into the power supply. It's been working great the past week but as usual my hopes were crushed. Think it's time to RMA. I am...

I have been looking at the temps but since the moment I started looking the computer has not shut off. They seem normal in HW monitor. I'd like to think the airflow in my case is really good so I'm not sure if thats a factor. I tried the paperclip jump start found here but the fan never...

No I'm not. The ram itself is 1600 but I didn't use XMP to overclocking the RAM. Just set that in BIOS. I am now running Memtest86+ to see if I get an error.

Put it to 1600, ran HCI and got a BSOD. It wasn't a total shutdown but I will try leaving it at 1333 for a week or two to see if my computer turns itself off.

Nope I don't have a spare motherboard. HCI did not find any error either. Right now the motherboard detected my 1600 ram at 1333 by default. What I'm going to do next it put the ram to 1600 again like I did when I first built it to see if I get any errors or if the computer turns off while...

I am running a 560ti along with the other parts. So far my Memtest is in the middle off pass 3 with no errors. I will give it to pass 4 until I will call it not a memory problem. Good thing is Seasonic does not want the cables so I don't have to rewire everything.

Unfortunately it seems I have a old model. I see the switch on Newegg but mine does not have that :( The fan does not even turn on when I run Intel burn test and Fur Mark at the same time. I did notice a very low electrical interference like sound coming from the PSU when it was running the...

Any idea how to get it out of hybrid mode?

Seems like Memtest86 is going to take a long time since I have 16gb of RAM. I ran is for 2 hours and no errors but only one pass. I will run it overnight to see. My RAM is Gskill Ripjaws 2x 8gb 1600 However, by default my motherboard reads it at 1333.

Thanks for the heads up I will do some memory tests and also try another wall outlet
