PC causing circuit breaker to trip

[Millertime28]

I have a gaming PC I built 2 years ago and have been gaming successfully ever since. Recently the room its in tripped the circuit breaker. I have tested in other rooms with the same result. This happens instantly when I plug in to the outlet in the off position. Any thoughts? hopefully its something as simple as the PSU has gone bad.....PLEASE HELP

Yup, probably a bad PSU. What brand/model was it?

"Yup, probably a bad PSU. What brand/model was it?"

Thermaltake TR2 RX 850W

Yeah, the TR2s aren't known for being particularly high quality.

What's the rest of the build? 850W is a fair bit; you usually don't need that much.

Hopefully the PSU didn't take anything else out.

Without looking up everything:
i7-4600k @4.2 OC
Dual gtx 980s sli
This is the core at least

 

[Someone Somewhere]

OK, yeah, you do want an 850W for that.

I'd probably pick up one of these: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438034

Try talking to thermaltake and getting a warranty replacement, but I don't think I'd use another TR2 for anything.

Just out of curiosity, can you give us the model number on the label of your TR2 unit? Thanks.
