Bad power supply?

Similar Questions

• Fried computer due to the bad power supply

  We did not have the computer turn on the correct voltage (it was about 120 instead of 220).

  What are the possible problems we will encounter?  Yes, the computer does NOT work.

  And what options do we solve the problem?

  It was a gaffe. I changed the switch, then my husband - lack of communication. It's a new computer desk-never used - Yes a Christmas gift for my son.

  And what is the best place to try and get a new power supply?

  Since it is a forum in the world...  The best place to get a power supply depends on where you are.

  How to determine what to...?

  Well, if this is a new machine, those you purchase contact and see if they have one, they will do out trade / sale you that will work in your machine model.  In this way, you KNOW you are getting the right feed...

  Otherwise, you will need to either take the power on (noting where everything happens so you can put a new) and take it to a shop selling things to get a replacement (large stores area, a small computer specialty store, etc.) or you will have to take the system with you and let the store that you buy to do it for you.

• power problems can be caused by a bad power supply

  May have found the solution is not sure yet - but after changing the battery in my 2008 end pro mac backup - always had problems with the screen freeze.

  As the mac was not in its usual place because of a previous repair - I had been powered to a pad of pen wacom via USB to keyboard - and using the keyboard extension cable joining the mac.

  Changed the filling of Wacom return to connection through my apple studio display, which has its own power source - and do not connect the backup drive WD Book at the fuel rail (brand stick Spike) and seemingly took care of gel to the top.

  Brought back the mac in his room with his back to regular links - but had to plug the display and the mac directly into a wall outlet, because the new power bar that I bought has a plug that does not match the output.

  Has anyone else had the question of a power strip causing problems?

  I had been turned to a pad of pen wacom via USB to keyboard - and using the keyboard extension cable joining the mac.

  I had problems with this sort of thing. I tried to run a printer, who had her so-called clean energy output keyboard 'just for the data connection"and it has messed up the keypad so that I could not enter my credit card number.

• Power supply question - amber LED flashing - Dimension E520

  So, I'm working on the dust removal and re - install windows on a machine. I've done dusting, but now I have problems with a LED flashes orange. The system will not top all - fuel without fans or beeps.

  After looking through some posts for ideas, I think it is a bad power supply or a problem with the heat sink.

  I think power because this seems to be a common problem. How can I test the existing? Is there a way to fire unless it is connected to the motherboard?

  The reason why I am wary of the heatsink is that I removed it when I was doing the dusting. I had the intention of fire tonight and get a new thermal paste in the coming days. Since then, I have read that this could be a recipe for frying the total CPU and I wonder if the machine is not pulled up like a check for free preservation any.

  It detects if I removed the heatsink? If it's happening, it will automatically detect when the new thermal paste is in there? Or is there a reset procedure any?

  Any help would be great. Thank you!

  As a side note, the design of this box is poor. I can't find some way to dust effectively the heatsink without removing it from the central unit. Supply openings do not match, so you cannot blow a good flow of air through the box.

  A flashing orange switch LED means that the computer is under voltage, but a power problem internal may exist.

  This may indicate a bad diet

  Are the Diagnostic LEDs on the front panel lite?

  Have you checked that all the cables to the motherboard and the disks are properly connected, by disconnecting and then reconnecting them?

• 3010 - 3 bad switching power supply

  We have 20 Optiplex 3010, bought in 2012.
  I recently had the power out in 3 separate units, on a space of 2 months.

  Anyone has an idea why a diet would go out and why so many of them would be? (There is no light, when I push the test button)

  Is that what I can do to fix a power supply? Is there a fuse in the power supply? Some power supplies in older computers have a fuse, but I do not have a fuse in it.

  Thank you

  Doug

  Honestly, I'd say a normal wear and tear or bad luck?  I have a brand new power SUPPLY Corsair PSU in my computer custom-made who started making noise and its only 4 months :-(

  Regarding the fuses etc, if it doesn't have them it would be HIGHLY recommended to just replace the PSU because no user is fixable in these power supplies.  They are slapped together and as cheap as possible, but it may be possible to replace them.  Sometimes the fuses are covered with a plastic/rubber sleeve so that they can be hidden (from some of the ones I've seen).  Just be sure that the capacitors are drained of power and the power supply died worldwide before tinkering with it beyond.

• Satellite M30X: fans do not stop if plugged into the power supply

  Hello

  I have a M30X and months fans when I'm connected to the power supply do not stop. It's also stopping often enough. However, the laptop is not hot. Do you have any idea?
  Kind regards

  Armando

  Hello

  If you connect the adapter to the laptop of Toshiba power saver change consumption patterns. Maybe the power mode with a different setting in the a? Basic setupa?. Please check the cooling method and change it to lower the level.

  But of course, the dust and debris could have a bad influence on fan behavior.

• I3 4130 map graphics and Power supply

  Hey guys, I have an i3 4130 with 8 GB of ram,

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04119419

  Of course, this processor and ram are good for the game, as I have seen online videos of people playing bf4 and crysis 3. I also want to play these games and cs: GB and dirty bomb and dragon age.  I don't really like playing high heat, the middle is fine for me.  I really want to get a r9 x 270 BC, they are in a large part to the best buy right now.  I will also buy a 650W power supply to go with it. My boyfriend is a geek and can install it for me. I took action, and I can fit such a graphics card or the gtx 660, in my case. [cards that are 10 x 4]

  However, I saw in another post that my motherboard has a connector 4-pin. Is this bad? The website says that my motherboard can support up to an i7 uprade!... So why not other new powerful pieces such as a GPU or a power supply.  I get that HP does not have computers for games. Why would they do a motherboard that can run an i7, but not an equally powerful GPU. I get that HP does not have the gaming PC, but those of office. However, it is the PC in my family study, so I'll try to make it work.

  Another way is for ma to get the GTX 750, because this card has a minimum required 300w power supply.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814487024

  However, a person in another forum said that HP uses cheap power supplies and will not have enough tension on the 12v rail. is this true?  If this way works, I definitely don't go this way as it is easy... also no need external with this map of power cord. However, if my power supply does not have enough Volts on the 12v rail, so I'll just take the graphics card I want and needed food.

  It's really frustrating me because I played some very old games [rtcw, and] with friends on teamspeak at night and my integrated graphics card could handle, but now they are turning on modern games that I can't play and I reallly want to understand this before you go and spend a lot of money. Thanks for any response.

  Andrew, welcome to the forum.

  A: I definitely recommend that you try the EVGA GTX 750 Ti.  I read a lot of good things about it.  It does not all the connectors extra power on the power supply.  Regarding the PSU in HP computers is lousy, the fact is that they install the power supply that is compatible with the OEM components.  Even if their computer can be upgraded, they design that enable out of the box.  You can try with the current 300W PSU, but if it does not work, I suggest you buy a power supply at least 500W; 600W would be even better for futute upgrades.

  However, a person in another forum said that HP uses cheap power supplies and will not have enough tension on the 12v rail. is this true?  If this way works, I definitely don't go this way as it is easy... also no need external with this map of power cord.

• Xw4400: I replaced the power supply in my xw4400, always beep

  Hello

  My power supply died a week ago.  I know because she gave me a code 4 sound.  I followed the troubleshooting instructions, and when it is connected with all the cables disconnected, the fan does not turn.  Thus confirmed dead.

  I got the new power supply today, and I plugged it in with no cable attached.  The fan spun.  Power has confirmed the good.

  However, when I put back in place and turned on, I got the code of four beeps again.  Does this mean that my motherboard is fried?  And if so, where the Board of Directors is the id so I can order another?  I have the dual core intel cpu if that helps at all.  Not the extreme, just the duo.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  After I plugged in a monitor, I doscovered that the computer was in the way of the message and then affected by the thermal shutdown.  Replacement of the entire radiator and fan made me a work computer.

  The problem was a bad video card.  For some reason, nor Council picked up the problem.

• HP Elitebook 8460p: is my power supply dead/dying?

  OK, so for Christmas, I got a HP Elitebook 8460p. Everything was fine, except that on the 3rd day, something terrible happened.

  Day 1 (Christmas): the laptop set up, new installation of Windows 7. Minor only freezes occor all seconds for half a second about. "Upgrade Bay" does not work, made just 2 short grinding noises when closed after opening

  .

  day 2: even freezes. That night, I run a disk check before going to bed. (Don't ask me what are the results, because I fell asleep during the test)

  Day 3: incredibly slow Windows now. Starting about 15 minutes, and answers may last from 1 to 5 minutes, never even.

  Symptoms: my HARD drive light is constantly on, however I ran many tests my self and even the player was tested for possible errors and he spent everything. Running Windows from a disk external DRIVE is fine and going at normal speed (for an external that is). When I push the switch down to close the laptop, there is a sharp wail (only half a second). My internal battery cool and is holder of a load at normal speed, only when the internal HARD disk needs accesed for anything on any platform, it's very very slow.

  What I tried:

  Defrag: Windows disk shows the fragmentation of 27%, however any attempt not to defragment that lead to progress stuck at 0% defragmented.

  SeaTools: Spent Seatools smart test.

  Reseting BIOS: BIOS reset by using the option in the BIOS.

  Store testing: took the laptop computer to the store and paid $20 for them to test, it passed all tests.

  Auditor of Windows errors: found mistakes (I've marked recovery of bad sectors and fix file system errors) and fixed (I have this on the external HARD drive that was running windows 7).

  If this is not the power supply, I have no idea of what is more. Assistance to access the drive HARD internal from the external windows copy is still slow, so there is nothing to do with the problems of corruption or OS driver I know. If you need more technical info let me know. I really don't care about the short freezes more, I just want to be able to use my new laptop if anyone can help me identify the problem I love them. I'm just suspecious of the PSU now because of her crying when being cut.

  Well, after reciving absolutely no help on this subject, I finally concluded that my HARD drive is indeed bad. I took it on my laptop, it was hooked up to my office, it's still slow respondent (although a little faster) and the HARD drive is also still on. The only reason why I come back to this post is someone else do it who is having these symptoms:

  -HARD disk always turn on.

  -HARD drive passes all the tests.

  -Great answer/access times (for me, it would take an hour or more just to get windows 7 booted up and logged).

  -No real lag, just windows waiting on the HARD drive.

  -Crazy waiting for HARD disk defragmentation time (Mine was going to take a week + and there by about 33% fragmentation)

  -Small amounts of offset or "stutters / hiccups" than occor all few seconds (about once every 3-4 seconds for me) (this applies only if the HARD drive worked before).

  -A small, short, high-pitched shrill when the computer is forcibly stops using the power button.

  My HARD drive exposes all of these symptoms. If your HARD drive is having these same questions, sorry to say, but you'll probably have to get a new HARD drive or get an SSD. The good news is that HARD drive prices have fallen since SSD majorly became public.

  42 people have seen this post but not one bothered to even try to help. I am very disappointed.

• Upgrading a p6510f Pavilion with a new power supply, graphics card and RAM work?

  Well, here's the deal that I go back to Japan for about 3 months and during this time I will borrow my laptop Cousins (in Exchange for my office) for Skype etc.. No problem their the thing is that he is a player and this p6510f has a few bad specifications when it comes to this, so I thought that I could let him borrow some cake rather than dirt, if you catch my drift ha... As well, when I get back gamer I ~ ('voice of Yoda"aka How Japanese works...)

  So I looked on Newegg / Amazon read comments and planned my purchase but the question is can this case and the Board of Directors manage what I use? lazy to measure everything out / busy.

  So first thing, I would like to replace:

  Replace the 2 x 2 GB ram cards default with:

  4 x Corsair blue Vengeance 4 GB (2 X 4 GB) 1600 mHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM of 240 pins

  For a total of ram 16 GB with my x 64 bit PC of course

  Link: http://AMZN.to/KtMt9m (note that I buy two)

  Replacing power 250w with an overkill rather one but it is the same price as a 550w then why not eh? After all the future upgrade/ability to use it in future builds?

  1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series 650 watts 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms

  For the graphics card + overclocking.

  Link: http://AMZN.to/IkLTdp 

  Finally no more ATI integrated BS... Please for the love of the creator (will it work?)

  1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI

  If my PC can adapt to this card, and it works with power above that will make me happy enough. (Regarding the cooling if it becomes a problem, I can upgrade fans me but first comes this material.)

  Link: http://AMZN.to/IFiEa2

  I checked the slot for graphics card, RAM and power supply power and it seems to me that this will work out I want just a professional opinion...

  Hello

  According to Corsair, the DIMMs that you chose is detected only at 1600 mhz, which is not in the specifications published by HP.

  You can roll the dice on the DIMMs that you chose, but I wouldn't recommend that buy you them until you contact Corsair and get a confirmation.  Computers HP can be very finicky with DIMMs, especially if you try to mix them with other DIMM modules.  If you do buy these bars and want to be them mixed with the existing DIMMs, then make sure the timings of latency CASE corresponding information validated HP. Also mix DIMM sizes will cause the memory function in unbalanced mode that adversely affect the performance of the memory.

  You should be able to make your own decision on whether to roll the dice.

• Power supply becomes unstable when you move the Satellite 1900 203

  I have a problem with my toshiba satellite 1900 203 (1905 for usa version). I can manage to start perfectly and I can work without any problem, but if I move the laptop just there seems to be a loss of power (fan is working and screen still shows black and white lines vertical and it sometimes becomes very bright). The CPU seems to also stop, because if I'm music listen to it disappears too.

  I'm pretty sure that this is not a screen problem and it must be powered; I throw overheating, as I can work perfectly for a long time if I move the laptop, but after knocking the laptop intentionally, it crashes. I think there must be a bad contact in the motherboard, but I don't know how to find...

  Thank you

  Hello Miguel

  Here on the forum, it is not easy to give you a diagnosis. To do this, and to understand the problem the laptop must be in front of me.

  In any case, from your description, I assume that there may be more power. If there is the problem with portable power or no power supply energy, but in your description there are usually few of very strange things (fan still works but shows vertical lines).

  Sorry, but I think that your device should be properly checked by technicians. They have various tools to make diagnostic tests and find out what may be the problem.

  World wide phone holder

  I understand that if you remove your battery, you can't boot up your laptop.  This is not unusual. some laptops are set up in this way.

  I understand that when you have the phone connected and charge the batteries of your performance is lowered.  There is more than one draw powere when it loads to the battery.

  Here is a link to the laptops HP - test and calibrate the battery (Windows 7) to ensure that there is no problem with the battery.

  Could also remove the battery once you put under tension.

  You asked questions on the use of a 90-Watt adapter.  Here is a link to HP G4 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service of Guide.  Chapter 3 page 32 lists not one that is recommended.

  Good luck!

• Power supply satellite L100 keeps failing

  Hi all

  I have a L100. A few weeks ago the main power supply (transformer brick) failed, so I replaced (with real part of Toshiba).
  Now the same thing has happened, 2 weeks later.

  This could be the cause?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hello

  You mean that the AC adapter?
  It's not easy to say maybe s a simple bad luck.

  9 years ago, I bought my first laptop. After 6 months if the AC adapter use was defective and I have to replace
  But 8 years it s works well

  PS: If the AC adapter is only 2 weeks then the guarantee must be valid
  Contact your dealer and ask for a replacement.

  See you soon

• Pavilion HPE H8-1121: Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new graphics card + power supply does not start after screen HP (Revisited)

  I have the same problem as this post 2013!  Ouch. Pavilion HPE H8-1121 - new map chart + power supply, does not start after HP screen.

  I installed a new power supply (Seasonic 620W), which works well.  I also installed a GTX 660Ti last year and it was works fine as well.  I recently bought a ZOTAC GTX 970 and attempted to install it, but it will not go beyond the blue HP screen and I get the same code of beeps (1 long, 3 short), who, seems, suggests that the video is not initialized.

  My BIOS date is 2011.

  Where can I find an update for this?

  I'm also using Windows 10, which I found on the HP site is not tested on my model and would probably not favourable to good use.  Should I do back up to 7 or 8?  and then update the BIOS?  Y at - it a update for my BIOS and where can I find.

  In any case, I hope that this is a solution.  Again, this is not a bad machine to be 5 years old.

  Thanks for any help!

  If the video card that you have purchased dose not a legacy vBIOS it will never start. An update of the BIOS doesn't solve that.

  It is likely that your new video card has a vBIOS UEFI and that only is for the PC motherboards newer than yours which have a UEFI BIOS. Your motherboard has a legacy BIOS. 2012 is the year of model when the UEFI BIOS more or less became the de facto on motherboards standard.

  I return it for a refund. Find the candidate of video cards that support the old BIOS. It can be inherited only or switchable vBIOS (legacy or UEFI) vBIOS.  I suggest looking at the site of Sapphire Technology. ZoTac is not known to provide enough information about their video cards in the way. You upgrade a pre-built desktop PC and it's different and a little more difficult to set up a DIY PC. I looked at the site of Zotac and see that nothing is said about their video vBIOS cards.  I would return to the map.  Carefully read the specifications of the video card. A candidate for your motherboard card must have inherited vBIOS support or simply, it won't work.

  ZOTAC (they don't say anything about their product vBIOS)

  Sapphire Technology

  Because you look at game with 4 GB cards. Take a look at the following map. It has a double vBIOS. legacy and UEFI. http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=640A98CD-0CF0-4191-B75C-CA2800111ADB&lang=eng
