crashfly Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yowsers, Kel! I hope things get better for you. It is not fun to lose a computer. Slightly off topic: How did your computer get "smoked"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I see several blown capacitors and quite a bit of black, burned area. Weird though the psu tests ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianymaty Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I agree with Rick. 3 HDD's died on me and others suffered some degrade in the 1 year warranty period before I got my UPS. Now it's about 5 years since I got it and all HDD's work well even if some of them have more than 1500 - 1800 days of continuos uptime and stoped degrading. The oldest (WDC WD3000JS-19PDB0) counts 2164 days of work and still contains my system partition installed almost 3 years ago (28.03.2010).

Weird though the psu tests ok.I have seen this issue, although it is generally on the "older" motherboards that have the cap problem (and usually the capacitors have not literally 'blown' up). I have even replaced quite a few and have restored most to working condition. Sucks to hear though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
