So I have a 4 years old Seasonic g550w (80+ Gold) still on the 5 year warranty.
It has been working perfectly since I bought it with my 4770k@4.2Ghz with a 770, then a 480x and now a 1080.
TLDR
My computer freezes under load, i have to shut it down manually but then when I start it again, it lights up, the fans start running, my AIO also is running, but the computer after 5-7 seconds restarts and keeps doing the same on a loop.
After a few hours turned off, it boots ok, and under load freezes again.
Long version
I have recently changed computer cases, and also bought a corsair sata power braided cable because it has flat connectors and fits better with the back mounted SSDs.
After installing everything in the new case the computer wouldn’t boot and i diagnosed that the new sata power cable, even though it has rhe same connector on the PSU side, it is not compatible, guess corsair makes custom cables?! ... and now im using the cable that came with the PSU but the computer freezes.
Can the incompatible cable have broken my PSU?
