REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - Bedroom doesn't have enough power to turn on computer

I have a Seasonic S12II Bronze 620 W PSU in my computer in my bedroom. Whenever I have anything else other than my computer plugged into my power bar, it would reset the outlet and I have to reset it on the breaker board. Only after I have turned my computer on, then I can plug in my monitor and other stuff. My computer used to have a 350 W PSU and I've never encountered any problem with that one.

I tested everywhere else in the house and all other outlet seems fine.

Are there any fix to this? Only thing I can think of right now is downgrading my PSU and getting one with a smaller watt.

Any input greatly appreciated.
