I have had a 480, (2)350 and a 250 Watt power supply in my computer and have blown all of them could someone tell me what could be wrongBlow in what sense of the word?Shawn..... A few questions that need answers ......

1 ....... How long did the pc function ok ....before the first PSU failed .....?
2........You say they keep blowing.......Do you smell SOMETHING burnt ....?
3....... Do you live in an area which gets a lot of electrical storms or power outages ......?
4........ Have you noticed any other odd electrical malfunctions in your house .....?

and yes

to answer your questionsIs you pc left on 24/7? check the main plug fuse rating/what is the AMPS of it.....i would connect it to an extension lead.......5amps.......and see if it blows it?Could u tone it down a little and explane that for meand yes most of the time it is left on but i dont see my other COMPUTERS blowing there power supply over itdownload this >>>http://www.active-hardware.com/english/misc/sandra.html
and run the test........are all thes psu .......the same make?.....and are bought from the same pc shop? just wondering if someone is repairing the varasitor and sending them back out......go out and buy a certified power supply, someting like a Turbo-Cool 510. Ain't never gonna blow, that one. It's more expensive than the rest, BUT how much have you spent already in power supplies, and how much time have you lost replacing them? Cheers. Also ANY 350 watt from ANTEC will do just fine.it wont let me download that program? it keeps saying not found.well it loads ok on my pc !
