In-Win Green Me 550W

I have blown two fuses in the past 4months but it never happens while my machine is running , it is during the night when the pc is shut down but still on at the switch.

The only things drawing power when pc is off are :
-The Mouse
-Keyboard
-Mobile Phone (charging)

Monitors and sound system are in a different plug socket.

Everything is fine after replacing the fuse , no boot up errors and everything works I'm just getting worried as i don't want my PC dying on me , can't really afford it to go wrong

Any help will be helpful :cool:

Is this the kettle lead that is blowing fuses or is it plugged in to a multi socket that is blowing fuses?

Have you tried another kettle lead? The wiring might be damaged in it and they are cheap to replace if you don't have a spare lying around already. If you have already tried these then there may be an issue with the PSU.

Agreed, try a different kettle lead.

Failing this, try a different socket altogether, this may be a mains wiring fault or similar!

Sorry delayed reply , Christmas and all that jazz lol

I will just buy a new lead and will get a surge protector
The lead is old its off my Pentium 3 system.

I always plug my tower into its own plug socket and the extension lead into the other with speakers and monitors

I thought I would post just incase I was having a blond moment
