SMPS Problem

[purujitb]

Hi,

Recently my SMPS has started making a lot of noise, also sometimes my PC freezes or restarts automatically.
Is all this due to the SMPS??
If yes, should I go for repair or a new SMPS??
If new then which one??

Thanks in advance

PS: 500W SMPS will be fine for my PC

Whats your budget for the new SMPS?
If you have a high budget then you can get Cooler master PSUs..

1-3K

cooler master 550W - 3.2k
or zebronics pure platinum 500W - 1.8k

but r u sure u've isolated the problem to the smps ?

noise is surely from the SMPS...
the computer engineer says it can be repaired...is there a point in repair

PS: it does quites down after few minutes

Looks like overheating problem.

If possible use a frnds psu for some time and then figure out the real problem first

If you have an expensive branded PSU then just see if it can be repaired...
If you have a local PSU then get a new one like Cooler Master...
