I have been building Gaming PC's for a long time. I really had my heart set on the EVGA 1050G power supply cause of how I love their video cards. I put nothing but EVGA graphics cards in all my computers. This love for EVGA has turned to being upset cause I feel they know they have a problem with their power supplies. I don't know if a bunch of bad batches made it out, or many workers had a bad day. I have gone through two of these EVGA 1050G power supplies in 1 year. I have a AMD 9550 5Ghz 8core on a Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Mother board, 16G Kingston 1866 DDR3 Ram a EVGA 760 SC 4G with ACX cooler, my 8core is cooled with a Corsair H105 liquid cooler. I have a 2 TB hybrid hard drive and a 3D Blu Ray burner. My power supply is a EVGA 1050G . I have a Corsair 540 Air Case and a Nvidia 3D kit with a Asus 3D monitor and a gaming key board and mouse and a Corsair Void RGB wireless head set. My first power supply worked great then after 6 months it started not turning on my PC unless I turned the power switch on the back of the power supply off for a while and then back on. The power supply got worst to a point I would not be able to start my PC for hours. When it would start It worked great. So I went to Newegg I was like ok I'll buy the exact same power supply and then just RMA this one so if something happens I'll have a back up. Well I bought a new one I put it in place of the old one problem solved my PC ran great, so great I was like well I have a 7 year warranty no need to RMA just yet. So now six months have gone by and now the NEW power supply another EVGA 1050G shuts my computer down without warning. Sometimes it runs for 8 hours some times it runs for 30 to 5 minutes. I'm also back to the same thing my PC wont start unless I flip the power supply switch off and then back on. What was funny on the first power supply I used a volt meter it told me everything was good on the power supply so I bought a new Sabertooth Mother board thinking the on off jumper on the board was bad. What a waste of 200 dollars that was put in the new board same problem. I guess I have a back up motherboard thanks to EVGA at my cost. So now I'm waiting for my RMA power supply to show up like in 1 or 2 days. Soon as it gets here as long as the advance RMA goes well and EVGA don't tell me my return was lost so they can charge my credit card 189 dollars I will be sending this other 1050G back that is now failing after 6 months of use. Glad they have a 7 year warranty cause until I get one that works for 7 years I guess EVGA is going to love me cause I'll keep sending them back for new ones. Why would you offer a 7 year warranty on a product that can't make it 6 months??? The most my PC pulls on this beast is 650watts of power if that being pulled. The power supplies look great. They work great for a couple months. Even old Jonny GURU told everyone on NewEgg hey buy this power supply its the next best thing to slice bread all your PC will ever need. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?  It has me very disappointed. Understand I LOVE EVGA!! I swear by this company and the products and tell all my friends, family, and PC builders to buy EVGA Graphic cards and products. I want to upgrade my Graphics card to a EVGA 1070 8G but can't cause my power supplies wont work long enough. I feel EVGA should look into the issue of their power supplies failing cause on NewEgg and Amazon.com other people are having the same problem, and you can read the reviews your self about their computers shutting off and they have to flip the switch off and back on for the power supply to work and blah blah blah almost exactly the same issue I'm having to a tee. If any of you have had this problem please let me know.
 

Welcome to the Forum Jermo420 & davejauger
 
 davejauger is your Power from the Socket polarity correct and what is the Voltage on the socket and what City and State is this computer in. What type of UPS or Surge Protector are you using?  Same Question for Jermo420
 
Jermo420  it will take me a little longer to read your Post/Article.
 

I have contacted EVGA support. Waiting for reply. Toronto Canada and high end surge protector however that is not the issue. The issue occurs only when doing a full system shut down. Not a reboot (restart). The paperclip test that EVGA has instructed to perform to verify if the PS is at fault or the motherboard. The test proves the PS is failing to power up.
As for polarity there is no way to change that as the socket in the wall is A/C and has no polarity and is grounded, the internal connections on the PS are all modular and cannot reverse polarity so I don't know what you are trying to talk about.

Yes I know this. I have an electrical/technical background. That is not the issue. And the current alternates between the two terminals of the hot and neutral.
And as Jerome said in his post you can find hundreds of people online having the same issue with the 1050G failing to power up after a shut down or restart, mostly a shut down.

This is the model I have and was purchased Nov 2015 (installed Dec 2015) and replaced the first time June 2016 and now requires replacement. EVGA has contacted me and they say the dead PSU I sent back tested perfect yet the test here in my PC proved the PSU was dead and installing the new PSU they shipped me powered up immediately. The PC has not been shut down for 5 weeks, once I did it will not power up.
The model I have is 220-GS-1050-V1 - EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 GS

EVGA is sending me out a new cable but I am 99.9% certain it is the PSU. EVGA claims they only have warranty issues with 1% of this model. Yet I find many people online complaining of the same issue, of those who leave reviews. It is funny how 3 previous versions of the PSU had the same exact issue but EVGA claims this model does not have that issue. I will see, the cable should be here in a week. Then I will test again before installing. But I am certain it is the PSU. Nothing in my system has ever changed since it's original build.
I have been doing some research and the EVGA 1200P, the platinum has one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings out there. Has the least reliability issues. If this 1050G is at fault I may upgrade to the 1200P and RMA the 1050G and keep as spare.

I had the very same thing happen this evening when I got home. Went to power on my computer and nothing happened. I double checked everything to make sure it was plugged in, so I unplugged the PSU from the wall and flipped the switch on the back and gave it a second or two, then redid everything and it turned on. Worked like it never had issues. So I powered the system off and tried to start it, it didn't turn on. So once again did everything and it powered on. So I wrote to EVGA support so I'm waiting for a response. This isn't cool at all. EVGA is good name brand, but I see a few models are some issues.

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.

Well from what I read about mine. It's made by Sea Sonic. So I guess a few others make them as well. To bad EVGA don't make their own and can handle quality control on the finished product. Some other company putting out Junk with their name on it does not do good if they want fans of the products that you stick your companies name all over.

Well today one of my best friends who bought the same power supply 1050G went out on him. He sent me a Facebook message saying his died last night, and he started a RMA. I started a new RMA a few days ago. Also I'm now not sure if Sea Sonic made these. I read some people saying they did, but on Tom's Hardware website they said they were made by a crap company. It's sad I'm on my 3rd and my PC just sets here. My PC it not abused or banged around. I have built Gaming PC's for a long time I have never had anything hardware fail like this ever in my life. Now my buddy who listened to me and bought this same power supply off Newegg his has failed! This is unacceptable EVGA!!! As a company you need to look into the issue cause I will go through  a million of them in RMA if I have to, or you can refund my money and I'll find a company like Corsiar or Thermal Take who can make a real power supply. I will admit the RMA is the best I have ever delt with, but if these were a GOOD PURCHACE I would not have to write this post. PS I will never listen to Jonny Guru ever again or any product he recommends for a PC.

Companies are going to have a bad batch of product once in awhile. In the past people have swore off Corsair 1000w power supplies, due them failing too. All the popular brands, none of them mfg power supplies, they buy from OEM's. Here's a list on tom's hardware (few years old), showing who makes which vendor hardware.

You can talk what you want but 1000 P2 and 1200 P2 are great PSU and not only them.
But these two models are really great. Sometimes some batch have lower number of RMA.
Take a look on Newegg customer experience. 1200 P2 have 45 (5 eggs) and only 3 (0 eggs). 
4, 3, 2, 1 not exist. But some people report short cables as negative comments.
If you see something like that confirmed stable and reliable than you should buy them because and good manufacturers
sometimes launch second batch with less quality.
Super Flower make excellent PSU but they become more famous, and most people hear for them after they made deal with EVGA.
And they need to continue to make quality products, because if they fail than customers who had problems with EVGA PSU will avoid all their platforms.

Remember, they're not talking about the P2, they're talking about "G"; we don't even know if the power supplies even used the same parts, or not, not just the capacitors, but everything else within the power supply. Also, your statement is very opinionated, just saying sir.

My 1600 T2 has been rock solid.
