| 1223897 | 2011-08-25 02:21:00 | So one presumes no one checked the Power Supply Unit then? Yes they did!! he was advised to replace it . "My tech did suggest changing the power supply at an earlier time" I get the feeling we still arnt getting the full story.... "check done elsewhere and this tech has changed a port on the motherboard and suggested that this is the problem!" OK lets be honest here, we dont know what was asked, or actually done. They may have actually fixed the thing !!! as admitted by jackie.t "it works" "as it has been running fine since then" |

| 1223899 | 2011-08-25 02:37:00 | They may have actually fixed the thing !!! as admitted by jackie.t "it works" "as it has been running fine since then" But then she said: And yes, it works.........for now! Sadly, I have had this happen many times before and it never lasts for long, I am kind of just enjoying it while I can! |

| 1223900 | 2011-08-25 05:21:00 | His suggestion to change the PSU was because I complained that the computer was much noisier than it had been before, not because he thought it was dodgy! This was a suggestion over the phone AFTER the tech carried out the original upgrade, not because he LOOKED at it and decided it needed changing . And the reason it didn't get changed later was because the next time the computer crashed (3 months later) he said I needed a new hard drive . A crappy PSU was never mentioned as a possibility for the crashes . Well if its running fine now, why ask for help? Kind of just putting some options together for if/when it crashes again . It has been running OK for one week and two days but in the past it has run OK for a lot longer than that and then crashed for no obvious reason . I will get the PSU checked though and see what it looks like inside, and then go from there . Thanks again to everyone for your advice, it's much appreciated . |
