My new build crashed like someone yanked the plug out of it. The event log shows Kernel-Power reboot. The circuit is on a 15 AMP circuit breaker.
Trouble is… everything including my TV & AV stuff is on that circuit. If I turned everything on, it would be 30.1 Amps. With just the usual load, it’s right at 15.3 Amps.
The usual behavior of a residential circuit breaker is to trip to off with an overload, this event acted like the computer’s power supply tripped and nothing else happened.
I wondered if there is overload protection in the power supply. But even if there was, the power supply was not overloaded… the household circuit was.
Can anyone explain what might be happening?
