| 211742 | 2004-01-31 20:07:00 | Having see the results of PSU failures on many computers I strongly suggest that you NOT wait for it to die. When a PSU dies it can often send a power surge through your computer that will destroy the motherboard, CD rom drive, hard drive, CPU and Ran in one foul swoop. Are you really willing to risk frying every component in your computer for the sake of a few dollars? I know i wouldn't. | Odin (227) | ||

(as they say if it works leave it alone) Can't help wondering why the heck you came and asked if it was bad for a PSU fan to not work if you had no intention of acting on the advice given . You've been told its bad for the computer and to get it fixed quickly but it sounds to me like that wasn't what you wanted to hear so you're not going to listen . Just don't come back whining when the poor PC starts dying on you will ya? ;-) |

| 211745 | 2004-02-01 00:52:00 | I mean all is well, i want to get it fixed. But see with the dairy payout and all and the not-so-good season we don't exactly have the resources to get something so secondary fixed. there are more priorities. i will goto DSE or have a look on trademe for a new/cheap PSU that i can suggest to them. if only my dad wasnt such an aarvark (he's all aardvarky because i fried our last comp (and then we got a better one because of that)) and i could actually go into the computer and clean everything and get rid of the dust.

| 211746 | 2004-02-01 00:58:00 | Just a query about PSU's themselves. I see some of them say stuff like 400w P4 psu etc and 350w Athlon and stuff. Whats the difference? our main comp is a AMD Duron 900mhz, 192 mb ram, 3d prophet 4000xt, cd-rw So its not exactly a power horse so i dont need 400w psu I just been on DSE and i see they have a 300w PSU (XH6903) for 69 bucks. Would this do the job? I also see it has 2 fans for extra cooling (not that our mobo temp gets that high) |

| 211748 | 2004-02-01 02:40:00 | p4 means it hase the extra plugs for p4 motherboards athlon usually means it has the vents/fan on the bottom side of the psu (ie vents facing the cpu). that 300w psu should do nicly. |

| 211749 | 2004-02-01 03:00:00 | Sorry about the language :/ I have emailed the computer company we deal with "Universal Computers"...i believe CyaBro works there. i emailed asking about how much a PSU would be and how much labour and then how much to repair it |
