I have a pc with the foll. config:
i5 3570s,12GB ddr3,GTX 1060,B75 d3h mainboard,Corsair TX 550m PSU,Corsair Spec 01 case
Of late,i've been facing a strange issue with the system.Whenever i turn it on(esp. after it has been kept switched off for over 3 hours),the pc turns on,then off again and then turns on for the 2nd time and proceeds to boot normally.Sometimes this cycle of turning off and on continues a few more times before it finally stays on permanently and proceeds to boot in to windows.
I removed and reseated the major components,changed the cmos battery,even replaced the PSU power cable but the issue still persists.
On googling,i discovered that in situations like this,the most likely culprit could be the PSU.Is there any way to determine whether the PSU itself is causing the problem,not something else?
Please advise what needs to be done to resolve this issue-does the PSU need to be RMA'd?
(PS. i recently upgraded windows 10 to v 1903-could it have anything to do with this issue?earlier when i had win 10 v1809,such problems never occurred).
