Martin L Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 it's the powersupply of your computer, place a new one and problem will be fixed. This has nothing to do with the rest of your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJM Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 (edited) Have you tried replacing the power cord? The power supply's fuse would blow before tripping the main breaker if it was the power supply.I changed the SMPS He did change the power supply. (Switch Mode Power Supply) Edited November 23, 2005 by RJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssmokee Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 (edited) My computer is causing tripping of the electricity of the houseIf your blowing a fuse or tripping a breaker in the building's electrical box, that means you are trying to draw too much power from the circuit. Disconnecting the CD and DVD drives isnt going to help you either, because the amount of power those particular components require isnt all that significant when compared with the rest of the system as a whole. You need to go after much bigger fish.What other devices are plugged into the same electrical outlet or nearby outlets (be as specific as possible)? By the sounds of it you have to move some loads onto another circuit, and simply changing to a nearby outlet does not gaurantee that it will be on a different circuit.

pulkit Posted November 27, 2005 Author Share Posted November 27, 2005 Well i thought that these devices consume very minimal powerI just have a monitor (LCD) and the CPU installed I put a UPS to the computer but not the monitorBut it tripped againNow i connected the Monitor and the Cabinet to the UPS Lets see!

ssmokee Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Putting a UPS between the computer and the wall outlet will not help the situation you are describing. You have to reduce the amount of power you are drawing from the circuit, and putting a UPS in will not lower the power draw. It should let the computer stay running while you go reset the breaker, but that is about all it will accomplish. LCD monitors do not use a significant amount of power either (probably 40-75 Watts when in use). You need to find something that uses several hundred watts or more, and move it to another circuit.What amperage are youre fuses/breakers? Standard 15 Amp?
