Power Surge

I had an electrician over in the past week. He accidentally created a power surge that cooked a power strip and blew several bulbs. My PC was on during this as I thought he was done at the time. So now a couple days later every time I attempt to stream my PC blue-screens with a varying code each...

Hello So I have X570-E ASUS STRIX GAMING mobo, which is probably killing my ram sticks. At beginning of the year I had couple of unexpected power cuts when pc was running but it was working fine until six months ago when it reset suddenly with black screen and was stuck on DRAM led light. I had...

I had an old system I wanted to try testing for a backup. The PC build has an 11 year old Corsair HX1000, Asus Maximus Hero VI motherboard, i7 4770k and GTX 570. I was incredibly stupid and lazy and didn't have an outlet close enough so I used an old power strip to connect the PC to. while...

Hello all, I am not a computer savvy person so I bought a prebuilt computer about a year ago. I’m slightly panicking since my computer seems to turn on but none of the peripherals or screens turn on. I was just gaming on it last night and turned it off before bed. This morning I went to turn it...

Recently got my HP 750-287C's PSU knocked out by a power surge but had it replaced. Now, when I use my PC, there's a sound coming from it that sounds like someone is shoveling snow outside or the printer starting to print something. What is this a sign of? Is it a sign of a component failing...

Hey all. Kinda low-key on being a computer enthusiast. I bought the premade BB903 tower from a Best Buy quite a few years ago. I recently made a move and investigating my PC while cleaning and putting it back together I just remembered a functionality I never seemed to get the juice out of. The...

A power surge recently hit our house and caused my pc to slow down considerably when doing anything. At first I assumed the problem would be my PSU, but when playing games like portal, my CPU usage sticks around 95-100%, close to double what it usually uses. When doing nothing, it fluctuates...

So I have an LG 32" QHD 144Hz monitor that went off during a power surge last weekend. Now the monitor just turns on and off continuously. Is it toast, or is there any way to easily fix it ? It's not the GPU. The other 27" 4K monitor works fine still and there's no other system issues. Even...

So my friend has a good PC: asus x570-pro motherboard 5600x 32gb ram rtx 3070 EVGA supernova 750w psu and a surge protector running windows 10 He had a scheduled power outage a while ago and it seems like it fried some of his USB ports, it took hours to get his computer to stop shutting itself...

So, my pc died after a power surge, despite being plugged into a surge protector, grounded outlet, etc. (Im assuming the motherboard is also dead, hopefully nothing else lol) I bought a new PSU and still nothing, however I did notice something. The new PSU makes a suuuuper quiet high pitched...

Hi there, I've recently encountered a big problem with my rig and i wasn't too sure on a diagnosis as there are similar cases on the forum but none quite the same. About a week ago i had what i believe was a power surge which later on gave me a BSOD whilst playing RE7, this was my first bsod...

I've heard that's an overkill to flip the physical switch on PSU. But I live in storm prone area, so I'm concerned about lightning strikes. Am i wearing out capacitors inside PSU by flipping the switch? (After shutdown) Should I just leave it on or flip the switch? PSU - Seasonic Focus Gold...

Hello, I have a gaming laptop (ORIGIN EON-17X) purchased in 2016, but within the last week I have twice experienced a total and instantaneous shutdown/loss of power even though the battery is full and it is plugged into AC power. There is no shutdown sequence it just instantly stops...

Yesterday my 10 year old cord extension with surge protection made an electric arc sound and straight up turned off with my whole system, turned it back on and it didn't light up, neither did my computer turn on. I took it apart and didn't find anything wrong with it, i changed it to one with...

I'm confused. I have my PC/Monitor connected to a 650VA UPS and that UPS is connected to a power-strip and that power-strip is connected to the wall outlet-(A). Today morning I turned on my PC, didn't boot up. No fan-spin, no light... nothing. BUT my UPS POWERED MY MONITOR JUST FINE AS USUAL...

Hi, I have one of those unbranded korean RX 570 cards which I got used in a system that I bought earlier this year. Recently, my PC wouldn't turn on so I had it checked and it turned out that my GPU died and the PC worked fine after they removed it. I got in touch with some guy who said he...

I've just installed my new graphics card and everything was working fine, with impressive resoults in 4k, but then my pc suddenly turned off. The asus anti-surge system was triggered. This happened to me about 4 or 5 times and always happens while gaming. I tried limiting the voltage usage of...

I have a 2 tb toshiba canvio hard drive that I bought a couple of months ago that was working fine. I recently lent it to a friend of mine because he was having issues with his macbook and apple support said he needed some extra space to do whatever it was he needed to do. Well when I got back...

Hi, Now 3½ years ago, I built my PC. It always ran smoothly, except for a few times where it would freeze on shutdown (I believe this was due to some sort of compatibility issue with my Anti-Malware, which I have since fixed and haven't seen more of). A few days ago, I had my first ASUS Power...
