SETI@home News Vol. 115 (12/09/2010)

Just to join the bandwagon, I'm going for PSU as well. Grab some monitoring software and check the volts. Not guaranteed but it worked when one of my PSUs decided 11.5V was 'sufficient' for the 12V rail (it was, but only just).

PS - Team OcUK hasn't updated because SETI hasn't updated, so ner! :p
 
Thinking about Tocix's woes and mine and other peoples experiences, I'm tempted to buy a cheap and nasty PSU - no more than 350 watts, just so I can quickly and easily rule PSU problems in the future. Something I only bring out to save these frustrating experiences of trying to figure out which major component is doing the deed.....
 
Problem with that idea is that when cheap and nasties go bang, they like to make other connected stuff go bang as well. Anyone who remembers the Q-Tec saga will know what I mean. :eek:

I've got a Huntkey 600W for that, use it for everything from testing parts on the bench to leak testing loops. Its modular and great and if I ever had a dead psu its good enough to throw in to make do till the RMA/replacement gets here.
 
13 hours and ...... i didn't get it working, searched high and low for similar problems with this specific board but no joy...must eat and go sleep :)
 
Ugggggh :eek: man it's late why am I still up :confused:
