JQP122 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 First boot attempt, a giant blue spark and loud pop was emitted near the powersupply and the room filled with the pungent odor of burnt hardware. The next day I disconnected everything and reconnected it with the exception of the fans to the motherboard (Meaning the motherboard has no control over the fans, which I set to always run on high). My system powered up, however it now randomly freezes (even at POST and BIOS, before Vista was installed). It seems once it freezes, the subsequent lockups come even sooner. I've not be able to keep the system on for more than 45 minutes. I highly suspect the Powersupply to be the source of the problem and I plan to get it replaced through the warranty, but I wanted to know whether someone else thinks that these symptoms actually point to the powersupply.

JQP122 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 I read in another post that someone was charged more than 80 dollars by ups ground when they got the replacement. Will I also be charged? This doesn't seem normal and I could just buy another power supply for that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
