My Dreamcast just got the DCHDMI installed by a friend. (I certainly can't solder it myself)

Audio and video is fine, but the console switches off by itself after a few seconds.

The console can be powered back on with no problems, but it turns itself off again after that.

I do not believe it's a problem with the controller board, as that has been modded with a resetable fuse.

The only suspect is the ReDream PSU, which is a clone made by Bitfunx.

However, the Dreamcast was working fine without any issues with the PSU prior to the DCHDMI installation.

Please advice.

I have no idea how to embed the video in this forum post

Fan is definitely spinning... can hear it buzzing away... I haven't swapped it out to a Noctua I bought awhile ago
