Hi Everyone,
 
My 1 year old Supanova 1200 P2 started buzzing a few weeks ago.  During the last week or so I've been getting sudden reboots (during gaming, web browsing, on the desktop).  Sometimes I can use the PC and it wont reboot at all, other times I'll press the power button and it wont even post before it reboots (which it will then do over and over again).  I'm in the process of moving house at the moment and my PC is watercooled so I haven't had time to remove components and reseat them.  I did remove the PCI-e cables from the GPU's (still plugged into the PSU) which seems to help getting the PC to boot into windows but I still have been getting reboots with them unplugged.  Event viewer is showing "Level = Critical, Source = Kernel-Power, Event ID = 41, Task Category = 63" which I have read on this forum is caused by an unstable CPU overclock but my CPU is running stock.  I have a PSU tester on the way but it won't be here until next week.  You think the PSU could be causing this? Seems coincidental to me it started buzzing and now this is happening, but seems strange that sometimes the PC will run fine.
 
Thanks.

    That sounds like the PSU is on it's way out. I'd call EVGA tech support and talk to them first, then see about an RMA

    you really should list all the components in your system that you are running, for people to better help you diagnose the issue.
