So as title suggests, today morning my just RMA'ed HX650 emitted smoke(ala Jeriko blast smoke).
The smoke bomb was triggered when my computer was switched off, alike in last case of HX620.
My last HX620 fried in similar fashion.
Funny? Yes and No.
another PSU fried within 2 weeks is a dangerous sign which I cannot ignore.
So I started looking at what can be wrong here.
Here is how my computer is powered right now.
A 4 m long extension cord is connected to a power outlet. A surge protector from some joker company called CONA is connected to this extension.
My LCD power , PSU power and modem power is connected to this surge protector.
One thing I notice is that, a day before my HX620 died, my Altec Lansing VS4210 stopped turning on.
Then my HX620 fried while computer was powered off. Then a new HX650 fried when power was turned off.
Did anyone ever face this issue?
What could be wrong here?
Another RMA on cards, that too in 15 days is appalling .
Thanks,
