    Power surge help needed please.

    I've used Ebuyer for years, well i did anyway. I've had 2 faulty parts in 10 years a video card that I got a replacement for, that was straight forward enough, and this debacle with the PSU. I paid almost

    Power surge help needed please.

    The old PSU was making a high pitched whining sound when it was on, I couldn't tell if it was a power rail going or if it was the fan seizing up so to be safe I just powered it off and used another PC to order a new PSU. The old PSU still works but I thought it better safe than sorry, plus I've...

    Power surge help needed please.

    I've spoken to someone else on another forum who has had exactly the same issue, i mean exactly but he gave up because Scottish law is apparently different to British law when it comes to the sales of goods act, that and they pretty much ignored him. I may be urinating into the wind but I'm...

    Power surge help needed please.

    Its good to know we're in agreement and i like "bovine droppings" will have to borrow that if its ok? heh Problem is I got a refund on it, but it took out my Mobo, CPU and memory, this is why I'm arguing with them atm, under the sales of goods act they are liable, then the whole power surge...

    Power surge help needed please.

    I agree with you Noz, I was complacent. With everything I've bought from there I've never had an issue with it and couple that with in over 500 or so machines built I've never had a PSU do that to me before. Maybe I was just lucky I dont know, but I never expected to take something out of a box...

    Power surge help needed please.

    They took the PSU back and tested it and said its faulty, then when i told them its nuked other parts of my PC they basically came back with the whole its a power surge that caused it not our problem line. Which is why I posted, to actually get some ppl's opinion on whether a power surge would...

    Power surge help needed please.

    The PSU was bought from Ebuyer, I did buy lots of other things from there before and they worked fine. The Trip i mean is on the main fuse box (sorry to seem so stupid about these things). The one with the big switch that turns the eleccy on and off for the house. Also As far as I was aware...

    Power surge help needed please.

    Hi guys, I was hoping someone could clear something up for me. This may take a bit of explaining so please bear with me and I'll try not to waffle. About a month ago I bought a new power supply, I installed it and I plugged it in to the wall socket and the unit soon as I flicked the wall...
