Bad mains power
I have a situation wherein I am beginning to think that the problem is with the mains power or severe interference. I rebuilt my nephews computer which had been running a Jetway 663ASpro board for some time with Windows 2000. It suddenly quit and it appears that the board and the power supply were dead. I thought "well that happens, particularly with mediocre power supplies. I replaced the power supply with an Antec True Power 550 and put in a virtually unused Asus AS8V with a New Barton 2800 processor and 1 Meg of new Kingston ram. I burned it in overnight after installing everything. He took it and it quit within the week. As I was considering the problem, his father (my brother in law)'s ENpower computer of 2 or 3 years age failed. It also had a bad power supply and motherboard. I should have begun to see the signs, but I didn't. I fitted it with a new Foxcon motherboard and new ram, also Kingston of 2 sticks of 512 Meg. Again I installed everything and burned it in with no hitches. 3 days later I got an email from him that the computer is unreliable and that nothing was working, especially Firefox and Thunderbird. I am beginning to suspect that there is a problem in the apartment they live in as far as power is concerned. What do you think?
