2 PSUs burned with my DFI.

So, i repost here 'coz i'm no sure my problem is about Seasonic.

 

 

Hello all, and sorry for my english coz i'm french

 

I've bought last week a totally new config (below)

 

I've burned two PSUs past three days.

The first was the enermax 485W.

After i have assembled my sytem and install windows xp. All works good. But suddenly, there was a big flash in the tower (open near me) and the PSUs was dead (i have testing with another mb). All settings were stock, no overclocking.

So i thought it was unluncky.

 

I have rebought a 2nd PSUs friday, the Seasonic S12 500W rev A2. All works fine saturday. Just some boot problem like the Seasonic topic, i had to switch the power more than one times for my system boot, when the system starded, it was all ok.

So i've doing some 3D bench.

Saturday evening i've trying to overclock the proc. I've reach for the first try a 2550 Mhz with 1,5vcore. So ive decided to let prime95 running all the night.

The sunday morning, the PSUs started to making an odd noise, like clic clicclic clic.

I've shuting down the system ... And i could never restart. I heard the hdd which initializing, i shut down the PSUs one more time and when i switch power one more time, the circuit breaker of my flat have ..heu ... dont know in english, i think you 've understand.

 

First, i ve phone this morning to nanopoint. It's the official resceller of seasonic product in France. They have confirmed to me (like i'd can read on some french forum) there was problem with new rev A2 500W (not 600 but i'm not sure) Most of Rev a2 product before september 2005 could have some problem.

If the serial number start by S/N:0508 like mine. It was produce in august and there is a possibility of some problem.

 

Any others ideas about my first alim burned ?

 

And so sorry for my english.

Check your surge protector/ups. Try using a different power socket.

The problem with this analyse is that i have another PC on the same socket-outlet (is this in english ?) during one year (enermax 350 W), and i never had problem. The Pc works good.

Bonjour! Content de voir quil y a des francais sur ce board.

 

Bon ce que je te proposerai serai dessayer une autre prise murale, et bien faire attention que le power supply est bien mit a 220v avec le petit slider en arriere du psu.(je crois que 220v est le voltage que vous avez en france?)

 

Et je te conseil fortement dutiliser une barre dalimentation qui protege contre les surtention...

 

Good luck!
