Hello

Somtimes when a switch is fliked in my house te PC just freezzes and crashes leaving notin but to restart it.

i have an cheap Casecom PSU inside

could this be what is causing my pc to stop or is it to do wid the electricts in my house.

Also what are good cheap PSU'S??

is the Antec Smart Blue 350w any good?
is the ThermalTake TR2 420W Black Silent any good?
And is the Coolermaster eXtremePower 380W PSU Supersilent RS-380-PMSP any good?



thanks

It could be your power supply, but the best way to solve that type of problem is by adding an "uninteruptable power supply". And if you still have the problem, consider an new PSU.

what is an "uninteruptable power supply". and a AVR?

also i think i found out the problem, it seems a plug near by is the problem, whenether somtihing is plugged into it the problems start, so i ll jus find a new socket for the laptop and all should be fine i hope lol

thanks
