    maybe give access to the printed information on the PSU.

    The invoice may have the PSU information on it as well and or see if they sent a parts’ list.

    This way if they used a cheap under powered PSU you can get it replaced before you burn out the system.

          Yes if it does not have enough power.

              could also just be coincidence.
              knowing the make/model of the PSU would shed more light on the cause.

                Low quality PSUs are very common from mass-producing system builders. They can get just enough life out of the average unit to get a system through the warranty period.

                This is the first thing we attack since it can cause a myriad of problems and is never a bad component to have ‘overbought’ on.

                    According to the warranty on their site all you should have done contact them and if they accept it the will then RMA the system.
