I'm starting to hate computers.

Ok so, my dad helped us with the cost of sending my 3090 back to EVGA. It worked perfectly fine for about a week, then all of a sudden Saturday my computer started resetting randomly. Been testing my computer since Saturday and the problem just has been getting worse and worse. Posted all over the net for possible solutions and one idea stuck to me, bad PSU. So I tested it with my old PSU tester and my voltages were all under what they should be. Borrowed a multimeter from my dad and yup, it's a failing PSU.

To triple confirm my wife is using my 3090 and its working perfectly. So... I need a new PSU. And I'm just thinking to myself, why me? It's not even a 3 yr old PSU and it fails on me?

So I have three options now. One buy myself a new PSU and take my dog to the vet another time, two have Corsair send me one right away and they charge me for it but once they receive my bad box they take the charge off. Or three send it to corsair and wait 3 weeks.

I don't want to consider any other option. I've been without a computer since June. I want to talk to my online friends, do my missionary work, and just have my normal life again. I'm just complaining that buying a video card from EVGA was THE stupidest thing I could have ever done. But, I have to make the mistake to learn from it I guess.

I am sorry to hear of your troubles with the computer. I think this this is the most prudent option:

Corsair send me one right away and they charge me for it but once they receive my bad box they take the charge off.

Yeah I was thinking that. But, I have to convince my mom to let me charge dads card even if the money gets taken off she would not be happy. Neither my wife or I have credit cards anymore.

The third option is best. Learning to deny yourself in this area is important. Three weeks isn’t long. The more you say no the easier it gets.

That is an option. I'd have to call Corsair and ask them how much they charge for shipping. I have a Dog that needs vet treatment too. So I have a lot of thinking to do.

Two things you could consider is getting one of those refillable cards and putting enough on it to suffice for the PSU to do the swap and the other see if Corsair has a dealer in your area that you could swap it out at and they could then have the dealer send it back to them.

The dog is more important, Neo. Take care of the dog (it’s a living thing in your care). Wait on the computer, it’s not that important. You can still stay in touch with the world via smart phone.

The dog is your responsibility. It depends on you. Neglecting its health in deference to a computer is grievous.

Good thing I started paying my cell phone this morning then lol.

Sounds like you can use your wifes computer, see if you can add a login for you on your wifes computers. (ask permission :>). dont have a second computer, take the dog to the vet.
