Wired Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 How did it each one blow up? Did you RMA them through Corsair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipen99 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 first 2 blew with a bang and burning smell the one that blew last night just turned off without any smell/overheating/loud noise first PSU wasnt corsair, I bought a new PSU (the TX950W) I did RMA the second PSU through corsair (which is the one that blew last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 18, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 18, 2010 Request an RMA With 3 PSUs failing in the same system in a short period of time, you might want to contact the motherboard manufacturer and see if they would recommend getting the board replaced. Either you received 3 faulty PSUs, or there could be an issue with the motherboards voltage regulation that could be triggering them to fail.

dipen99 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 yeah I am starting to think its a motherboard problem I have been having trouble recently where windows keeps crashing and I keep getting BSOD thought it was a RAM error so I took out the RAM and used 1 stick then the other on boot up to see if either worked Both still individually caused the pc to crash however when I put in RAM from another pc it worked fine until this PSU blew I noticed that as I played a media file repeatedly it would cause the BSOD on the same time However when placing the internal hard drive into another pc it worked fine (and still does) All this chaos also caused my external hard drive to fail as when I copied over the media file it must have caused a write error which led to 1.3TB of data being corrupt Im beginning to believe Im cursed with this pc!

dipen99 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Case #: 1765222 RMA# 1196696 the PSU was delivered to the returns department last week and arrived there on Wednesday, November 24, 2010 and signed for at 11:18 When I track the RMA on the corsair website the top of the screen says "Based on the information you have provided, the best thing to do is send us your parts for replacement." and the bottom says "Your RMA has already been processed and/or shipped" I'm confused as to whether they recieved my PSU yet / if they sent a replacement as I have not recieved any emails regarding a replacement being sent can Ramguy or someone help track my RMA please? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
