Vent: Stop blaming the PSU for every weird boot loop like it's 2015

I used to instantly swap out power supplies whenever a build got stuck restarting over and over again. Then last week a friend's rig kept boot looping even after I dropped in a brand new Seasonic, turned out the RAM just needed a little nudge in the slots. How many of you have wasted hours swapping parts just to find the real fix was something dumb like a loose GPU or a CMOS reset?

Did you catch that Gamers Nexus video from a few weeks back where they tested boot loops and it was mostly just a loose power connector on the mobo? Feel your pain, swapped out a whole system once only to realize the CPU power cable was wiggling.

Reseating the CMOS battery fixed mine after three hours of swapping parts lol
