I started having intermittent failures on my puter, checked everything i could in another machine (ram, CPU, HDD, gfx)...allfine. put back in my machine, fails again. Bought new PSU, mobo, ram, CPU and started over. same problem. Grrr! Only common component in both PCs is ps2 mouse. Is it possible for ps2 mouse to cause crowbar in the PUSs?Gonna go buy a USB wireless kb/mouse combo and try again later. If that don't work I'm gonna start hitting things with a hammer.

I'm having a problem with a Dell 9310 which is posting 2 orange, 4 white lights on startup (hangs on Dell BIOS logo). The service manual says its a RAM failure.

2] Whether this component is likely to cause the RAM failure issue, and if replacing... -

I have a MacBook Pro late 2016 that died maybe four years ago. Over the course of 30 seconds, it got slower and stuttered, until it froze for a second and died. No click from the trackpad anymore, nothing. I started getting interested in electronics repair and decided to give it a shot, so I opened it, removed the battery (one cell was puffy), took out the motherboard and experimented with...10-15-2025, 01:53 AM -
Hello everyone,
I'm encountering a frustrating issue with my Corsair SFX 450 power supply. After an undefined period of operation, my PC will either suddenly restart or, in some cases, it won't start at all until I disconnect the power cable and reconnect it.

For context, I have tested the PSU using an electronic load at 150W, and under those controlled conditions, it functions flawlessly. This leads me to... -
