power supply

ill give it a try kodi didinnet think of that one.

It's probably a badly soldered or loose wire to the switch inside your PSU, and unless you have a multi-tester, solder, flux, a soldering pencil, and lots of experience using them, I would just go buy a new power supply.

I would check your electrical service, make sure you got a constant 120v at 60Hz.

thanks alot guys for your help well im gonna buy a new power supply .

ok i went to the computer shop and told him my problem he said are the cables and connectors inside the tower touching the metal of the tower i said yes cos they are touching. then he gave me cabel ties and told me to tie them all up and aslo put some insulation tape around them and tidy up inside the tower i did all that so now ima gonna see what happens.

kodi i hope i didnt miss any bare patches i did the best i can if it dose happern again id have to strip the guts out start all over again

Also you should have your system connected to a surge protection strip. If you don't already, which it would seem you don't since the surge protector should trip before it got to your household fuse box. Fabe

Well, a good UPS with AVR would be much better. A S&S protector is little more than a fancy and expensive extension cord that deals with high voltage (surges and spikes) events by whacking off the tops of the sinewaves and does absolutely nothing for low voltage (sags, dips, dropouts) events.

I also recommend everyone have a AC Outlet/Ground Fault Indicator Tester. They are available at your local hardware/home improvement store and come configured for every voltage and plug configuration.
