New Theory: AMD's CPU Throttling damaged the power supply.
Hello,
I have a new theory how the power supply got damaged: AMD's X2 3800+ dual core processor has CPU Throttling. I downloaded a special AMD Software tool called AMD Power Monitor or something like that. Which throttles back the CPU when it's idling... then when it needs to do work the cpu is throttled up. So on idle the processor will work at 1.0 volts... and then when it's busy it will work on 2.0 volts... maybe even voltages between it. These voltages fluctuations occur very rapidly. Think of it like this: You turn on the water... you turn off the water... then you turn it on again... then you turn it off again. If you do this at the right pace... the water in the tubes will start to pound on the inner tubing... and sooner or later something is going to break. This is probably what is happening inside the electronics. It will work for a while... but after one or two years of heavy usage... kiss it goodbye ! Fluctuations in temperature seem to also cause problems for gpu's in laptops... Try doing that with your teeth fillings... ouch Crappy hardware nowadays, me very sorry I bought this crap. But it is powerfull and with some nice Skybuck experience and knowledge it might work after all. So I gotta find a new power supply... and leave the processor at always 2.0 volts to prevent any damage or temperature fluctuations. Don't know what happens to gpu though... though the 7900 gtx seems to be able to take quiet a beating... don't know about the components around it on the motherboard though You've been warned people =D Bye, Skybuck. |

The whole world has sunshine and it rains only on you? MY theory on your 'luck' with computers is your own ineptitude. You're doing something YOU think isn't wrong but it is. Bye, G˛ |

Hydraulic shock on the power supply, I think you might be right. Is the power supply dripping water? |

This is probably what is happening inside the electronics. Being gentle, there is a huge hole in your theory. That hole is hard drives. They are constantly spinning up and spinning down. If a power supply could be damaged the way you think they can, any system with a hard drive would experience such failures. But then you could have something, as power supply failures are quite common. Note I'm only half joking there. -Dave |

I disagree with you...
Harddisks shutdown for a long time because of inactivity... or they simply keep on spinning for a long time... And when they do spin up, they do so slowly... not abruptly. Harddisks were designed by IBM. We all know what happens when you try to take on IBM. You go down burning in flames ! =D Bye, Skybuck. |
