I'm looking for ideas on what might be burning out power supplies in a
computer.

I have a computer that is on its 3rd ATX power supply in a short
period of time. In determining if the power supplies were bad I am
using a tester. Each time the tester has shown the power supply to be
bad so I replaced it and the system would work again. The latest
power supply lasted only a few days before failing.

The system is plugged into a surge protector along with other
equipment. No problems with the other equipment so I have doubts a
power surge is the culprit.

Thanks for any suggestions.

What brand and model power supplies are you using? Some of them are just
garbage and not worth buying.
