[QUOTE="ashrr, post: 1834428, member: 44853"] @[USER=4101]Crazy[/USER] Eddy, Here are my PC specs - i5 2500, 8GB RAM, ATI HD 6870, some Intel Motherboard, 1 TB hard disk and a 64 gb SSD. It wasn't exactly on inverter backup when it blew up but here in Chennai, we have scheduled power cuts every day. When this occurred, the power was scheduled to go out at my house, but hadn't. There could have been a dip in the voltage instead, but I'm not entirely sure. @[USER=9160]cranky[/USER] - Our inverter powers our fans, a few lights, and some electrical outlets around the house. AC, microwave and water heaters don't work at all when the power goes out. Two TVs and my PC can be used together but only for a short time (assuming PC is plugged in directly to a wall socket), 1 TV and PC can be used comfortably along with fans and light for around 2 hours. The wall socket I plugged my APC UPS into "works" when I plug something else into it when we don't have power. So this is probably coming from the inverter. When my first PSU blew (GS500), I wasn't using a UPS. This time around, I was. The UPS is an APC Back UPS RS 1100 if that helps. I didn't connect it to a spike buster. In any case, is it safe to assume that my second PSU also needs to be replaced? I'm considering buying a brand new one as I need my PC urgently for work, and RMA takes their own sweet time. Any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
