Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @52, you make a fair point. The "old stuff" I was referring to was things like the IBM PS/2 - DIAGNOSTIC STATUS BYTE, AMSTRAD - TIME AND DATE MACHINE LAST USED, IBM - RESET CODE, FLOPPY DRIVE TYPE, FIXED DISK DRIVE TYPE BYTES... you get the idea. The CMOS memory area can be up to 2K though, so your right in that it wouldn't surprised me if manufacturers used bytes 128-2047 for random stuff.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @49I wouldn't be so sure on that. Motherboards aren't nearly so standard as you want them to be. In hypothetical land what you're saying is true, but I could totally see manufacturers doing stupid stuff like configuring it to be non-default settings in the factory, and I could totally see cheap motherboard manufacturers taking shortcuts that rely on it.It's like $10 including shipping and 30 seconds to replace so it's not an unreasonable thing to try. probably won't help but can't hurt, and who knows, maybe it magically works.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @48, that's highly unlikely. The battery 45 is talking about is the CMOS battery. Removing that only causes BIOS/UEFI firmware settings to not be saved and the messing up of your RTC. It has a few other functions, but those are really, really old, and no one accesses them anymore.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? The fact that your firmware isn't detecting overheating events is very troubling. Intel processors within the past, like, 10-12 years have had a digital thermal sensor (DTS). The firmware should be monitoring that for you (the processor triggers the shutdown event, or it should, and if it doesn't, the firmware should). Apps that monitor temperature readings are useful -- I, too, have an ap that does that, and I check it here and there to see if I'm nearing the red zone and, if I am, I do something about it. But software monitoring of temperature levels is most certainly going to be much slower than the processor doing it because of the rapid temperature fluctuations that occur (and that's discounting scheduler time and interrupts).

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? It's almost impossible to have that be a ventilation problem, if the computer was properly built in the first place. I don't think your repair shop is qualified, assuming that they gave you this computer back and it broke again. You've either got a dead fan, a dead heat sink, a dead motherboard component, or misconfigured/overclocked bios.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? I just have to say that if you have to run apps which monitor the temperatures of your CPU cores to determine if they're critical so that you can do something about it, that computer is toast and you should bite the bullet and get a new one. Even 10 year old computers should be able to handle turning themselves off and such in a scenario like that. If it's not, you've probably got a toast motherboard or broken heat sink or something as well as the PSU.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? Ok. My desktop is back under quaranteenne and will be shipped to the computer hospital tomorrow. Ok, in all seriousnes, the psus behavior is bugging me again. So what happened was me trying to upload a youtube video. I didn't make it with firefox so i tried to use chrome. For info, i always have a program in the background that informs me if my cores go critical hot. So i ran chromee and after a while and still not making it(youtube studio is a pain in the ass), i suddenly heard. "Coretemp. Warning. Core0 is critical.". I then looked into the systray and saw that the cores where all arround 97/100degrees in celsius. I looked at the taskmgr and saw that chrome started something called "software reporter tool.exe". It turned out to be a cores eater, i directly turned it off and my cores eventually went colder. How ever from that moment on it started to ackt up wierdly. For an example it took like 5 minutes to load up an .aup file and also the explorer seamed to have trouble working normal. I then powered the thing to sleep mode(the one where the full thing is off and it keeps the ram in hiberfil.sys). Later on my mom told me the thing was lighting. I wondered, it is not soposed to do that when it was off. I turned it on any way cause i had to check some stuff, it went on, started, and turned it self off. The psu fan was how ever still going. I of course directly turned the power off. It means, that the fuse in the psu broke again, and probs another capazitor. I will try to get a completely new psu now, this one didn't even last 1 month and the pc was like only 1 week actually in use.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @35: I agree with #36 above. You might try making sure the cord that goes from the wall outlet to the laptop charger is plugged in tight. If that doesn't fix the problem, contact the place of purchase, as you almost certainly have a defective charger, and this should be covered under your warranty, assuming this is a new laptop. By the same token, assuming again that this is a new laptop and has a warranty, don't use a third party knockoff charger on the laptop as this may void your warranty.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? Ok, now my laptop psu is doing some stuff that kind of bugs me. So the following. I have this new hp laptop here that i now own for like 1 month, it arrived here on 10.07 but was only turned on 10 days later because i was in holydays and it was so nice to arrive exactly on the day where i was siting in the car. All works great. The psu is a standart one with one cable that you plug in the actual psu and there a cable that you plug into the laptop. I have now noticed that every time i touch the psu or do something so the cable from is moving, it is doing electric noises. It happens on the side where the cable is going into the psu, fortunately not on the laptop side. I how ever still find this kind of vorrying because it also makes nice noises if i take the cable out of the laptop without turning the power off, and then it sounds like it has to fight back power for adleast 4 secs until it is silent again. Is that normal or do i need to look for a new one? Btw, desktop with the exploded psu still works perfectly normal, except a problem that was not hartware related.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @32 i guess i turned off the power fast enough before the power could go through without any thing stopping it. I already had my finger on the power switch and in the moment where this scary squeaking noise kicked in i directly pressed the button. That would also explain why the fuse in our house did not go off. But the squeaking and booming of the capacitor i couldn't stop. The thing was probs broken any way, from closer looking, it seamed like liquit ran out of the thing before. The liquid how ever is conductive and probably so caused a lot of contacts that where not soposed to happen, also the capacitor blocked the fan and well that caused it then.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? To still be serious, that's actually really a freakin' good luck, if after a bang and getting a new psu everything really works fine. If the thing had gone out quietly - just shutting down as a result - it wouldn't have been the most dangerous situation in the first place, but as it went with a bang, anything could get blasted by "electricity going the wrong way" right after the bang and before finally cutting off. Heh, quite a messy explanation on my side, but hopefully you get the point.To illustrate an example: one of my psu deaths was quiet - at some point my pc just went off, there was some funny smell like melting plastic or somethin'. I understood right away, that shit is not right and of course had no intent to try turning the thing back on. Instead I just touched the psu at the back and it was freakin' hot, not just warm, really burning hot. So yeah, nothing else inside the machine got fried that time, just the freakin' psu and after having it replaced there were no problems.In contrast my friend had it going out with a boom and something inside his computer got busted during the process, but I don't exactly remember what it was.So yeah, what to take away from all this is the fact, that such accidents are obviously not harmless fun and I strongly suggest to look after your pc for some time more thurrorly for any abnormalities just to make sure it's really ok and no failure is on it's way to strike at the worst moment.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @18 that's an interesting point but my system is nearly 5 years old and i'm not planning on upgrading it any time soon. ok i spent a lot of money building it but it will last a good few years yet and still runs circles round budget off the shelf stuff you could go out and buy tomorrow.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? You should probably just salvage the hard drive, grab your data and get a new pc. A 5 year-old pc is obsolete, technology wise anyway.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? Well, guyz, may-be some of ya really have to chase the latest tech at any possibility and also have enough free resources for just that, but for the rest of us it's actually not that uncommon to have computers ten years old or even more than that.And yes, psu's can and do blow up, not always with a bang, sometimes just with a slight buzz and a funky smell, but they do die. I myself have been quite lucky not to have a bang, but a couple of those things have went out on me. Fortunately nothing else had got damaged during those times, but as a note of caution: whenever things start to go weird and act strange, do not ever try to force them to turn on as it may lead to more serious stuff happening rather than just a dead power source.As always, I have no intent to offend anybody whenever being a little harsh, just to remind that as the world is wide, so are the financial and other conditions people may come from.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? hello,I personally experienced one of the capacitors in power supply blowing,like your system, before it happened, when I was powering the computer up, only the fan in PCU was turning so I powered it off and on, and it not just blue, it made the breakerbox open.maybe this is another safety, but the only thing I had to change was my power supply. nothing else was damaged. I hope your's is the same. it is easily can be tested, just bring the case to a computer repair shop, they can connect another PCU to it and power it up under 5 minutes.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? well my only suggestion as i said before is to try a new PSU in it but it sounds like that thing went out in a big way and has probably fried most of the stuff inside with it. drives should be ok but the rest, i couldn't swear too. there's a chance it blew before it did any damage to the voard or anything else but the bit where you say you kept turning it on and off and holding the power button worries me. also, how do you know the capacitor was from inside the power supply? only way you'd know that is to open it up which is insanely dangerous. i never open them. they can still carry a charge that will give you a lethal jolt when they aren't plugged in.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @12I'm not sure what your point is. I feel like you're trying to clarify things until we tell you that it's fixable after all. The only way you're going to get us to tell you it's fixable after all is if you can somehow take the part where it exploded and make it not have happened.Computer components do not explode. It doesn't matter which component exploded. By the time it explodes, it's too late. Things exploding and it still being fine somehow is almost entirely the realm of old science fiction. In the real world everyone goes way out of their way to make sure that when a thing fails, it doesn't fail by exploding. Exploding is worse than a normal failure. Computers are fragile and can fail in a bunch of ways, but 99.99% of those ways are it doesn't turn on anymore and that's it.If you have someone who does custom builds, they can test your components. You can't test them yourself. In order to do such tests, you need enough components lying around to swap things in and out until it works. You also need vision and enough experience to examine them for electrical damage.@13For non-PSU components usually reversing the polarity will melt the thing you're plugging in. I would be astonished if it also broke the PSU itself. It's certainly possible though.But seriously, this must have been a cheap PSU or a *very* dusty computer or something. Or just bad luck beyond belief, I guess.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? Some capacitors do have liquid inside them, yes.This shouldn't have gotten as far as a capacitor blowing. The safeties that should have kicked in should have kicked in before that was possible. Even if you flat out short the capacitor, they shouldn't explode. In fact, with many capacitors, the first thing you do before doing anything with them is intentionally short them for safety.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? which capacitor blew? if that's come off the board, you'll at least need a new motherboard. without having it in front of me to test i'd say it's a rite off but could have come from the video card or something. still all in all the prognosis isn't good.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? it sounds like a mess to me but i'd try a new PSU just in case. what wurries me is that you said there was liquid coming out? a power supply shouldn't have liquid in unless it's some kind i never came across before. more likely your cooling system in which case there is a good chance your CPU has had it. and as a previous poster said, never skimp on your power supply. the one in my custom build cost a bloody fortune but it's got the world supply of safeties build in.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @5You're trying to find hope where there is none. This is a lost cause. I don't know what a condensator is. But if part of the power supply exploded, that counts as the power supply exploding.Get in touch with the people who built it and get them to help.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? @2 it is a custom build computer factured by a local computer store.@4 You mean the last cycling or when it started doing that when i was longer away? Also, it was not the power suply that exploded, but one of the condensators in it. And i can actually pritty good say how long it took to turn it self of. First 5 seconds, then like 3, then 1 and then squeak boom after one single fan tried it's best to come back again.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? yes, other things were almost certainly damaged. We can't know which ones. Yes, letting the dust build up is a bad idea.It's probably a lost cause. At this point you're going to do the thing where you guess which parts are broken, install them, and find out it was something else, if I had to guess. You needed to pay attention when the supply started cycling.Frankly, power supplies shouldn't explode ever. I have no idea what you did to it, but either it was something really impressive or you got a cheap one. There's a ton of safeties that should have kicked in that would permanently brick the power supply without it exploding if it shorted or overloaded. Perhaps you're being figurative and all it did was ark which can sound the same, but if it actually exploded I wouldn't ever buy that brand again.If the CPU fan failed and the system didn't turn itself off in a very small time window, the CPU is toast. Small time window means on the order of 30 seconds at most.PCs last 10 years when you take good care of them and know how to fix them. Alternatively they last 10 years if you get really, really lucky. I wouldn't read anything into you knowing anyone with a computer that's lasted 10 years.

Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
Re: computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? What PC is this? A prebuilt?I think the degree of how many components may have been fried, if at all, depends on the PSU that's in the computer.Me, I spent over a hundred dollars on a SeaSonic PSU, power supplies are the area of PCs you do not, and I mean do NOT, cheap out on.

computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged?
computer power suplie exploded, is any thing else damaged? Hi. Today, i wantted to power on my desktop pc. Was 2 weeks not at home and wanted to check some stuff. Powered tthe thing on and it went on and off for a while. I did not wonder at first cause it sometimes does that when it was longer turned off, maybe i had tbetter taken atention to that for longer. But when it did that the thirt time in a follow up and also the on off breaks got shorter and shorter i was then starting to wonder a bit cause usually it happens only once, not 4 times. Then it suddenly stopped and i was about to turn of the power when i then heard that one of the fans was suddenly coming back, how ever it sounded like it was only trying and not geting enough power, then suddenly a strange squeaking noise and boom! Glat every thing staid in the pc and notthing went out and i still had my fingers on the power switch. But the thing already smelld like a cigarett. A sighted person then opened the thing and saw that one of tthe condensators blew up, blocking the power suplies fan from starting properly, and that was probably where the boom came from as well. I how ever seriously wonder how this happened. I mean, if i had the power turned on while i was not at home it would be clear but the thing was completely powerless, and last time i powered it 2 weeks aggo it worked just fine, it even worked great since it was not so long aggo, in fact only a few days, that it got a ram update. So now i mainly am conncerned about 2 things.1. Is it possible that any other hartware got damaged from the ttime it tried to power on and went of and again on and of and so on? The other person said that was all looking fine except of the liquit tthat came out of the power suply, but who knows.2. Have you ever had similar experiences with desktop pcs? The thing was only 5 years old and i have seen pcs longer survive under harder conditions, like the pc of my mom is almost 10 years old and still works perfect.3. Could it be tthat this happened due to my room beeing pritty dusty for what ever reason so i had to clean the fans like all 3 months, so would it maybe make sense to place the thing maybe on and not under the table or something like that?Well, i kinda want to repair the thing and would be glat to see it working. It is like the most reliable pc i had in a while and when you take this out, i had never mayor problems with the thing. Also it is kind of needed for school and i started my coding on the thing, URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/561224/#p561224 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
