put finger to keyboard and composed:
Got a Dell computer with something called a 110 Twin Alert.
This little board on the top of the chassis is shutting down the power
supply. I thought it might have been some kind of temperature
alert gone bad. Got Got some power circuitry with a beeper.

Could it be this warning device with a 110dBa sounder and a low
wattage speaker?

I can't see how it would be responsible for shutting down your power
supply, though.
Thats was interesting.
I will post a picture later.

So here is a picture. I think its just a temp warning beeper that went bad and shorting out
supply. Weird.
