Electrical

This is my second PC where the audio has crackling and my microphone has a constant whining sound. When I got this new PC there was no audio troubles but my computer would have random stutters and I updated everything from the BIOS to the drivers, even doing a fresh windows install which now...

In all levels of the house the lights will flicker sporadically. sometimes the flickering will be very brief, other times it will go on for minutes. The circuit in my room seems to act up more often. Attempting to artificially produce this behavior via adding/removing electrical appliances does...

I'm putting together my first small solar system. I have a 50Ah lifepo4 battery paired with a Renogy 700w pure-sine inverter. What size fuse/breaker should I use? Cable size from battery to inverter is 6awg.

Hi. I really like the S2421HN in reviews. And planning to buy same. But there's some problem I noticed in reviews on Amazon India (I am from India). Most people complained that it has 16A plug which is physically bigger (see photo), but Indian homes usually have small sockets on wall. Which are...

Problem: Every few weeks, the machine goes for several days consecutively no longer responding to the power button press in the morning, irregardless if it was shut down or asleep. The only way to turn on the PC is to flip the switch on the surge protector to OFF, then ON. When it is flipped to...

Recently was sent parts by a friend in the US to built my own computer, only problem is, the power supply included uses a standard american style plug. This obviously can't be used with British mains, so i'm wondering how much risk is there if any of changing the head of the cable and using...

So after 5 years of use i started hearing some arcing noises from the back of my pc , the psu had a bad fan that i lubed twice and after the second time from time to time no (its not consistent) i hear noises similar to electrical short circuits or arcing. There is no coil whine or buzzing tho...

Hello!!!!! I had this EVGA T2 1000W PSU for 3 years. It works fine, but two months ago started to make this fantastic noise: I am in a RMA process, but the PSU, for this 2/3 months worked perfect. I had to use it for my job. It is not the fan. I specifically bought the 1000 watt to be below...

Hello, I spilled some water on my floor and most of it got in my carpet and floor, and some of it touched my electrical cord/extension cord that connects to my surge protector. It was only a little bit of water, but a little bit of water got on a electrical cord but I think I cleaned it up...

Recently I bought a D-link DHP-W611AV powerline adapter that seemed to work perfectly (reaching 50Mbps, which is the speed of my connection, with ~5ms ping to the modem) when I first set it up. However, after around 10 minutes it slowed down dramatically, with ping of around 50-200 ms and...

I have had a recurring issue with my custom build PC for the past couple of years, ever since moving into a new house. The computer shuts off spontaneously and usually (but not always) turns itself back on, taking me the the Windows 10 login screen. Once I log back in, whatever I was doing is...

I am really sorry if the thread doesnt belong here 100% but I dont know where else to ask and I am kinda concerned. You see not always its like 1-2 out of 10 times when a lightswitch is turned on or off in the house or some other kind of electrical device while I am using the computer the screen...

Hello! So I recently got a new desk, and I was wondering how to move it over to the new desk. I know what to plug in, however, do I just unplug the computer from the outlet, or should I do something else? I have a surge protector and it has a button on it it that turns it off, so should I turn...

Hey guys, I have a question. I just upgraded from a 750Ti (power from board only) to a 1660 SUPER (8 Pin). On the first boot of the PC something inside the case smelled kinda electrical. Maybe a tiny bit burned? (no plastic smell though), but much rather electrical (don't know how to describe...

Screeching sound on my speaker when I plug the power to PC, but works fine on my Phone Charger. Clearly something wrong with my PC grounding. My External HDD doesn't even work on the USB 3.0 port (Case and Mobo), only in USB 2.0

My desktop had been working fine up for the last few years up until a few days ago when it started acting super strangely. The front IO power button had stopped turning the computer on. This was a problem that I experienced a few years back after I had first built the PC, and had no actual...

So i've made a lot of research and found out that i most likely have a grounding problem. Just bought a new mic (Tonic G33) and tested it on my Dell Laptop. For about 10 mins of quality testing, it suddenly started having buzzing. I noticed that when i touch any metal part of the microphone, the...

So recently my ram went bad and it started causing problems. So I decided to open up my PC to try to figure out is it one stick that is bad or both. Now I when I hit the power button the fans run for like 10 seconds than turns off, it repeats this a few times than powers off. Now I think I...

The thing is the front audio jack is not working on the case. Well if I plug in headphones into the audio jack, I can hear the audio from the right ear but the left ear just has static. Im not 100% sure if it is the mobo or the case since I dont have spare motherboards and cases laying around...

Here is the links for my dump files: http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/I1aOK6oM/file.html I have crashed before the first one but using the Disk Clean-up tool I must have accidentally deleted the dump files. I get it mostly when gaming, more specifically CS:GO. Some games like Assault Cube seem...
