PC Power Supply Failure
Alright - I am not sure if this would be the correct newsgroup - if not,
please point me in the right direction - thanks! I have had a catastrophic power supply failure in my PC and I would like to know if this type of scenario is uncommon and what exactly might of happened to cause this. I was moving my server from one location to another - it had been running for about 2 months straight without any problems. I plugged it in and hit the power button. There was a loud rattling noise from the power supply for about 1 or 2 seconds, then I got smoke, a nasty smell, and a dead PSU. I have had power supply's die before - I just replace them. On this one however, the whole PC was dead. Motherboard, hard drive, cdrom, floppy, everything. Also, the monitor that it was connected to was dead - no picture at all, but the power light did come on, and the keyboard was also dead. Fortunatly I did not have a network connection, because I fear I may of toasted all of the other PC's on the network. Has anyone else ever seen this or heard of it - it just seems too wierd! Thanks in advance, ~ Matt |
