1. A power supply with an output port status monitoring module, comprising:
a plurality of power output ports;
at least one status alert component, generating at least one visual prompt which attracts a user's attention based on an alert signal; and
at least one output port status monitoring module, comprising a plurality of temperature sensors respectively corresponding to the plurality of power output ports, a microcontroller communicatively connected to the temperature sensors and electrically connected to the power output ports to sense an output current from at least one of the power output ports, and a reset signal generator connected to the microcontroller, wherein the microcontroller stores at least one port status alert condition, and a decision factor of the port status alert condition is defined based on at least one of a temperature and the output current of the at least one of the power output ports, and the microcontroller outputs the alert signal to the status alert component when the port status alert condition is met, and keeps alerting until a reset signal provided by the reset signal generator is received;
wherein the visual prompt generated by the status alert component is provided for the user to identify to which of the plurality of power output ports the alert is directed.
