Solve : Strange Situation? |

Answer» I hate to say this but usually no POST screen points to a faulty PSU. I don't know if you read the entire thread or not but I already concluded it was a Power Supply problem and bought a new unit. The computer worked for less than 2 days and went dead again. Does not neccessarily mean it is still not a PSU problem... Quote I don't know if you read the entire thread or not but I already concluded it was a Power Supply problem and bought a new unit. The computer worked for less than 2 days and went dead again.Yes I did read it. The other alternative is to strip it down to the minimum and run it on the bench. You may have got a dud PSU. Quote The other alternative is to strip it down to the minimum and run it on the bench.Been done. Quote You may have got a dud PSU.It's inconceivable that both PSU's have the same problem. Is it possible 300W isn't enough to run my PC? Edit: By inconceivable I mean I hope that's not true, lol. Quote It's inconceivable that both PSU's have the same problem. Is it possible 300W isn't enough to run my PC? It's not inconcievable... i went thru a run of 4 bad PSU's lasting from a day to 3 weeks...all high end all from the same vendor. It does happen... Travel Here...Thanks for that URL. It says my minimum is 270, so that rules out a shortage problem. Now, I guess all I can do is TRY for a third PSU? Any suggestions if that fails aswell?You need to keep in mind how they rate PSU's...a 300W PSU is rated at max output under a sustained load...not an accurate way to do things but it is what it is. I NORMALLY calculate a PSU for a third less than it's rating..IE a 300W unit to me is worth about 220W at best. If your system tested out at 270W i would suggest a 400W. Just my 2 cents.Finally, something I didn't know. Thank you very much. |
