Im so over my computer please help me

JupiXD · Aug 8, 2016

Hey guys, the past 3 days have been the most frustrating days ive ever experienced in my life. The problems that i have been dealing with is my computer (of course). I have had the same problem for over a year now. Recently i bought new pc parts such as a motherboard, cpu and ram for my PC hoping this would resolve the problem as a bonus aswell a computer buff. But no im still experiencing the same difficulties as i have before. I have already replaced my PSU before as my other one blew up on me. My new one seems find on the outside. No funny smells, no burning marks but on the software and screen side... not so good. Everytime my pc restarts it will get an American Megatrends message saying your computer was shutdown due to an unstable power supply ASUS anti surge has protect your PC from becoming unstable. So the only possible theory that i can think of now is my power supply as it states. But i also cant understand how my PSU could be busted even though i have had it for under a year. Any help is greatly appreciated and sorry for any spelling mistakes and punctuation in the paragraph as im to lazy and frustrated to read over it. Please help! THANK YOU!

Aerocool does not seem to be a good choice.

I dont understand how it would be such a coincidence that the two psu's would blow in such a short amount of time. Especially as soon as i got the new one i had the same problem.

Jasjar · Aug 8, 2016

You are just unlucky

kraelic · Aug 8, 2016

Because the company is tier four? Just above those tier five 430watt psu included with a $30 case don't trust your system to it types? Grab a unit from tier two and game on.

JupiXD · Aug 8, 2016

do you think i can get one from under 100 or just over?

JupiXD · Aug 8, 2016

I cant seem to find the prices or sellers in my area for some of those tier 2 psu's.
