Users share experiences with ATX PSUs in troubleshooting scenarios, such as hibernation problems where the computer fails to start or resume properly. In one thread, a user with an older ATX PSU tried swapping it with a newer one but the issue persisted, indicating that the problem may not be PSU-related.

These threads highlight how ATX power supplies are a common component in custom PC builds and can be involved in system stability and boot issues.
