O'neal11 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Approximately how low could voltage go on a household current before a machine decides to turn itself off (go dead). A client of mine is having random turn-off issues and I cannot find any hardware or software reason of this. Their entire house is on two 20A breakers and I'm wondering if this is the issue. The machine is blown out and is fairly new so dust/heat isn't the problem. PSU rails look good along with multi-meter readings. Thanks!

94Camaro Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Is the machine the only thing in the house turning off? If it is, then it probably isn't the household wiring causing issues. You would notice lights dimming or other components like tvs, microwaves, etc turning off along with the computer. Also, if you were lacking enough voltage/current at the machine to cause it to power off, you'd be over-drawing the house circuit and throwing the 20A breakers. If the breakers aren't kicking, I'd say it just about has to be a probably with the computer itself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cespenar Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Is it an ASUS motherboard? I'm having trouble with them shutting off, and I have adequate power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
