    Soltek

    Within 10 minutes of startup my computer restarts when the hard drive boots. After that it just restarts most of the time. Windows XP restarts on startup. DOS programs run perfectly. Windows 98 sometimes restarts on startup, and otherwise Windows and Windows programs constantly show illegal operations, blue screens, Mozilla Quality Wizards, restarts, etc. Downloads, especially compressed, are corrupted and scandisk errors run all over the place. Interestingly, turning off the L1 & L2 cache in CMOS blocks all errors except restarting on boot.

    So is this bad caps?

    Why does turning off the L1 & L2 cache fix it?

    Why does it run differently within 10 minutes of startup?

    Why do DOS programs run?

          Re: Soltek

          Actually, I've noticed a LOT of supplies don't seem to provide one or both negative voltages, or they float at totally random things.

          ...and haven't noticed anything miss them. heh. systems seem to still work perfectly.

              Bad memory can cause problems like these.
              The voltages shown by various programs for Windows can be wrong because boards have the hardware monitoring chip wired in various ways.
              Some newer PSUs don't have -5V voltage at all. New boards don't have ISA slots (most of them) and -5V is not present in PCI slots.

                  Re: Soltek

                  That would explain why I've noticed most supplies don't have -5v.

                          It would be nice to have a clear picture or two of your Soltek board for the diagnosis. Please post a few if you can.

                              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                              by Tynan Dill
                              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                              Panasonic TH-L42D25A checking the PSU output voltage
                              by electron_jj
                              Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a Panasonic LED TV which doesnt turn on and is blinking 4 times repeatedly when I turn on the switch. The TV does not respond to the remote control so I had to turn on using the physical switch on the side of the TV. When I turn on the switch the 4 x blinking starts and repeat itself until I turn off the TV. There is a black screen. I turned off the light in the room to check the panel and I think there is no backlight as far as I can tell.

                              I have been inspecting and testing the capacitors and diodes in the power supply board to try to...

                              Trip light 2400 watt line conditioner bought used issue with low voltage oscillation going on between relays
                              by sam_sam_sam
                              I found two capacitors on the board and one of the leads on one capacitor had bad soldering joint and the other joint connections not much better and there were several soldering joints that way to much flux around the joint redid several of them

                              The capacitors were a non brand that I did not recognize they got replaced and now it does not oscillating between relay but what concerns me a little bit is when the voltage is a little bit low the output voltage is around 130 volts and then drops down to 115 volts this happens around 105 to 108 volts if remember correctly

                              Now...

                              3+1 Voltage Regulator for IMVP-7/VR12 CPUs

                              Compliant with IMVP-7/VR12, the ISL95831 provides a complete solution for microprocessor and graphic processor
                              core power supply. It provides two Voltage Regulators (VRs) with three integrated gate drivers. The first VR can be
                              configured as 3-, 2- or 1-phase VR while the second output is 1- phase VR, providing maximum flexibility. The two VRs share the
                              serial control bus to communicate with the CPU and achieve lower cost and smaller board area compared with the two chip approach.
