Thinking that my old mobo was faulty, because it was freezing and rebooting randomly, I recently bought new parts ( except for the Corsair 850HX PSU and GTX 980Ti Vid card ) but the random rebooting problem persisted (although not as often as before). So I bought a new Seasonic 1000W PSU and problem solved (yeah, 1000W might be a little overkill )
According to HWmonitor and some other programs, the Corsair 850HX voltages appear to be good, they appear to be within ATX tolerance (± 5% ). The PSU, is only 3,5 years old and it doesn't have warranty (sold overseas, so no warranty ).
So, could the PSU have good voltages but still under load be faulty? And if so, could the PSU be fixed? It's not like a rectifier diode is burned, it would be more complicated than that... I wouldn't like to throw it away just yet.
