Undervoltage protection (UVP) activated

What is UVP-TRIPPED?

The UVP-TRIPPED error is categorized as a critical-severity power supply unit (PSU) issue that can significantly impact your PC's stability. The voltage fell below the critical limit, the system shut down as a precaution. When experiencing the Undervoltage protection (UVP) activated fault, users often report sudden system crashes, unresponsive behavior, or a blue screen of death (BSOD). In most diagnostic scenarios, this problem is directly triggered by underlying hardware or software complications such as blackout or severe voltage drop in the electrical network, a weak source cannot maintain the voltage at the load and leaked capacitor. To permanently resolve the UVP-TRIPPED issue and prevent further system degradation, it is highly recommended to follow our step-by-step troubleshooting guide below, ensuring your power supply unit (PSU) components are functioning correctly.

Common Causes

• Blackout or severe voltage drop in the electrical network
• A weak source cannot maintain the voltage at the load
• Leaked capacitor

Step-by-Step Fix Guide

• 1
  Get a power supply with a strong 12V branch (single rail)

  Applying the first fix (Get a power supply with a strong 12V branch (single rail)) addresses the most common root cause of UVP-TRIPPED and restores baseline functionality.
