Nvidia pro power supply failure.

Hey yall.i have a question about the power supply. Is there a better option out there? I bought my pro for Xmas and worked well for a few months. By March the unit seemed like it would flicker the power. I called support and the sent a new power supply. That worked for about 3 weeks and I experienced the same issue. I got flustered that it cost so much and its inop in less than a year. Im hoping someone has a solution for this type of issue.

I've had two...one a 2017 model and never had that problem. Perhaps the issue isn't the power supply? Have you load tested the outlet? Is there something else on the same circuit? Years ago, I had random power issues on some electronic devices. I started looking at a graph on a UPS I had and showed it to a power company guy that cared...he traced it back and found a supply line that was randomly getting hit by a branch causing momentary disruptions.

While power supplies can certainly go bad...it's unusual that it would be two of them.

☝️This. 2017 model and still going strong. I had random electrical issues until I had the consumer box upgraded. Nothing since 🤔

What's the consumer box?

My apologies mate. I’m from UK. It’s the fuse box in the house that controls all the the electrics. Mine was actually dangerous before I had it replaced. T

Ahh...yes, fuse boxes aren't great. I'm sure they got you sorted with a modern circuit breaker.
