    Hello, I once wrote about the strange sound of the power supply (screeching), for the last whole month it was fine, the power supply worked normally, it did not make any strange noises until today. Could this be the reason that traffic jams went twice yesterday in the apartment?

    This is the squeaks of the voltage converter. First, check the elements on the primary side of the power supply, and in particular if the "large" electrolytic capacitor is not bulged.

    Generally started making a noise during the game now it's ok again
    In general, he has a blue screen more than once and a reset, or the screen disappears for a moment, I do not know what the problem is.

    Well, you have the answer, the power demand increases during the game, which means you have bluescreens or windows overhangs and the power supply starts squeaking - for starters - as I wrote, check the elements on the original side of the power supply

    Primary side components?
    But for the last month, even with the games, everything was fine.

    Most likely, there will be an electrolytic capacitor to be replaced - it could bulge and the electrolyte could leak out. And the power supply did not get hot during the game?
    Temperature will kill anything. It seems to me that you have a little too small (in terms of power) this power supply for such a set.

    It doesn't get hot, where is this electrolytic capacitor?
    Can you have a photo of what it looks like?

    I do not have such a power supply, so I will not take a photo. But you probably know what an electrolytic capacitor looks like. There should be 1 or 2 capacitors (large dimensions) with a voltage above 350V.

    I found such a photo of the inside of the power supply:

    I mean that blue element on the top left.

    And this is in the power supply, without opening it, I will not find out if it really is, and for the warranty to the online store I would have to send the entire computer back because they were assembling me. Where then can there be blue screens and a reset or screen disappearance for 2s.

    But you don't know for sure it was done with me?

    If you have problems with your computer, as you write, and the equipment is still under warranty, you should take it immediately while it is still working. Complaints about power supplies can be a strange thing, because they can prove to you that the power supply has died due to overvoltage in the power grid and there may be a problem with the warranty. Better take the computer while it's still working.

    Ok, then I have to send back the warranty because it was submitted to morele.net
