I just purchased a 1050G silent series for a build im working on..kind of nervous now!



If it was a major problem, i think we would see more people complaining about 1050G dying on them.

How many months ago did you purchase the 1050GS?

(Deleted for Foul Language) me. My 1050 GS that I bought last september just started doing this today...
 
Power down PC. Hit power button to boot back up. Nothing.
Unplug PSU from wall, wait 30s, plug back in. It boots.
 
I wonder if this is related to the audio noises I've been having on my x99 classified board.

Hey that is great for the people who did not buy the same power supply which all have different parts and built different. I'm glad they work. I did not state all EVGA power supplies are bad, but when you know how to build gaming PC's, and you went to school for PC building, and you have done it for 15 plus years, and your PC is not over loaded or abused in any way it just sets perfect and is cleaned well. I mean I'm on my 3rd one of the same EVGA 1050 G in 1 year. Speaks for it's self you know. You guys trying to compare other power supplies to mine is like trying to compare a Corvette to a Camaro. Same company way different set up and parts and built way different, and they perform different too.

The 1050g and 1050gs are the same PSU. They say 1050g on the side, but the PN is 1050gs

My 2nd 1050gs just died...
 
It's on a 790i ftw board. Mem power LED comes on, but nothing more.
 
Swapped in a oem 350w psu and everything is kosher.

My 1050 G supernova just died.  It had trouble powering up after shutdown for a month or two, and today just quit.  It was purchased November 23, 2015 - so not old at all.  In addition, it had barely anything to do - as I bought it for future considerations if I decided to crossfire (which I never did).
 
I've got a cross-ship coming back from EVGA, however I can't afford to ship this back to California every time it dies.  Hope there's not a bigger issue, but it looks like there might be with these units.
 
Looks like A LOT OF PEOPLE are having this same problem!!!  Check out the reviews on newegg.com - even their replacements are dying quickly the exact same way.

Ya if I have one more go out I'm going to Corsair or Thermal Take and I'll never buy another EVGA Super Nova power supply as long as I live. I read Sea Sonic built all of EVGA's power supplies any ways. Why would a Company like Sea Sonic who makes their own power supplies to sell would want to make EVGA's better than thier own. Makes you wonder.


I have a Seasonic 850 X series that just failed on me. It appears to be identical to the EVGA 850 GS so it looks like Seasonic makes this for EVGA. What is with these PS supply manufacturers? Their reliability sucks big time. All the 105C Japanese solid capacitors don't make any difference. And before all you tech wizards start asking about surge suppression or dust bunnies, I have used a Super Micro OEM ps on this system for years with the same UPS/surge protectors and they never fail after 5 + years of service, not 6 months of intermittent use. I only went with the Seasonic due to the modular cables, and their supposedly good reputation.

I ordered it(1050 GS)from Amazon two days ago and today they have shipped it. I really hope that it will work fine. In amazon the GS series has good reviews(4.6 or 4.7 from 5). It comes with seven years warranty

One of my replacement 1050gs just died...
 
Same issue as the other 2.
 
Turn PC off, doesn't turn back on until it's been unplugged for a few min to few hrs.

I would think that after 3 Power Supplies it might be time for a new motherboard or computer.

I feel the same way about the 850 P2 I have decided on. Originally it was going to be the 850 GS. But I heard similar stories about 1, 2, 6, 12 month trials that ended in RMA's and mild profanity.

I've been dealing with this same issue for the past year as well. I'm at this moment sending my 4th PSU back for RMA. I've been paranoid that something is wrong with my system, but hearing that other people have been having this issue too makes me re-think that. Add in the fact that my back-up PSU has never given me any issues with the same system each time the EVGA PSU fails.
 
If the 5th one dies on me, I am officially done with EVGA power supplies. Already paid enough shipping all these PSUs back for another one at this point. Still like their GPUs, though.

Welcome to the Forum LoJunGin
A little more information about your EVGA SuperNova 1050G Power Supply and your Computer Hardware may help you with your Issues.
Also what Type of UPS do you use if not what type of Surge Protector. To Note a Power Strip is Not a Surge Protector.
What is your Power 110 or 220?

Re: Why are the SuperNova 1050G power supplies failing after a few months of use??? 2017/04/15 15:19:08 (permalink)
A basic rundown of my system is below,
 
Gigabyte z68xp-ud3p
i5 2500k
Gskill dd3 1866 2x4gb
EVGA 1070 GTX
EVGA 220-GS-1050-V1
+
4 HDD + 2 SDD
1 optical drive
 
I don't have a UPS, and I use a generic Belkin surge protector. Not the same one, but similar to the one below. Not sure if that's what you meant by a power strip =/= surge protector.
 
(Edit) I apparently can't post links, but I was going to link an amazon page for this "Belkin 6-Outlet Power Strip Surge Protector with 2-Foot Power Cord, 200 Joules"
 
If this power strip is an issue, I find that hard to believe as I've used it with no issues with my PC power and cooling PSU flawlessly for years prior to getting the EVGA PSU. Not saying it's can't be the issue, but I would need an explanation before I'm convinced to plop more money to replace something that seeming hasn't giving me problems. My brother has the same Belkin strip as well, but his system has never behaved the same way mine has.
 
I'm not 100% sure what you mean by Power, but I reside in the US, so I assume 110.
 
I'd be happy to continue using my PC Power and Cooling PSU if it wasn't for the fact that it's pushing 9 years old at this point. Its never given me any problems with this or prior systems. This EVGA PSU however has been the most obstinate piece of PC equipment I have ever encountered in my life.

Well with a computer that is "9 years old" it may not be up to today's current ATX Power Supply Standards.
I only use EVGA Power Supplies, before that Corsair.

The PC itself isn't close to 9 years; my backup power supply is, hence why I wanted to replace it.
 
It was also one of the most highly rated and regarded PSUs of its time and is still working perfectly fine. "PC Power and Cooling S61EPS"
 
But I think that's besides the point right now. I'm not sure what you mean by "may not be up to today's current ATX Power Supply Standards". Are you saying that my computer somehow can't support newer PSUs? I've never heard of any kind buyer beware information about that. I'm happy to hear any possible reasons as to how my EVGA PSUs have been sharting the bed.
 
Also when the EVGA PSUs go dead, they are confirmed totally dead with the paperclip test.

This through me off "PC Power and Cooling PSU if it wasn't for the fact that it's pushing 9 years"
I think my oldest is from 2007 and have replaced the batteries two times last year being the second time. *APC
"Are you saying that my computer somehow can't support newer PSUs?" No that is not what I am saying.

I've had the same exact problem with my 1050-GS, I rma'd my original recently and the one they shipped back was clearly a refurbished unit which exhibited exactly the same issues. I went to buy a different model motherboard from microcenter to test if that was the issue however the non-powering up after reboot persisted so i bought a corsair 850 watt power supply and tested that and everything worked fine so I spoke to evga support and they (very helpful and nice as always) said they'll probably rma it for a different model so as not to continue the pattern (the rma info states a g3-1000w model is being shipped). I hope this solves my problem.

Same problem. I've had 3 failed EVGA power supplies since early 2016. A 600watt, an 850watt and a 1000watt, all of which I purchased after each failure, especially since I run a small IT business and can't afford downtimes. They have all only lasted about 4 to 6 months before shutting down and never coming back on. Using a power supply tester confirms that there is no power flow coming through the power supply via. I live in the US and have a high rated surge protector. The surge protector has never tripped and all other devices connected to it are functioning without power issues. Only these EVGA power supplies are failing. I can't handle this down time any longer.

It's always good to have a spare PSU in situations of down times due to a PSU failure.

My 1000GQ I spent $160 on failed after just under 2 months of use. I got a RMA no questions asked and have been using it for a little over a month with no issues yet. I really hope it doesn’t fail again soon. I believe their Customer service is top notch but but products are not imo. Maybe they are having a bad line of 1000w model psu
