Multimeter Mystery (many users having problem). A curious problem has popped up in the Dell Forums. A number of excited Dimension 8400 users went out and bought an eVGA nVidia GeForce 7900 GT when that card came out earlier in the month. The 8400's...

SEATOOLS - they all fail the DST (drive self test). If the PSU power supply is correct (using multimeter) and there is no grounding problem (none that i have detected so far) what is the conclusion? All these drives that I mentioned make funny noises...

possible you're just jinxed? ;-) Have you changed any bios settings? Does your board have a newer bios available that might address these problems? If you had a multimeter you might try checking the continuity on the port and across any fuses. Also...

all the time. I’m not sure if the RAM running hot is a problem. I am not sure how to diagnose a power supply without a multimeter, but I have not ruled out that the problem is caused by my power supply. Maybe not enough charge? Does anyone know a good way...

FSP250-60GEN power supply failure. Just had a power cut due to forgetting to credit the meter and now my main computer is dead. A quick check with a multimeter proves the problem is a failed psu. The PSU is an FSP250-60GEN. I notice that on ebay there are...

and easier to swap. On a power supply testing note, I am not even an electronics hack, but I do own a multimeter. I poked my multimeter points into the end of one of the ide cables. red and black, the reading off the power supply that caused my computer...

problems happen you can call up the report and see if power started to flucuate badly causing the problem. I think you can also use a multimeter to check the rails. But I'm guessing if you had one of those you wouldn't be posting this question :) Barton...

use it for comparison. I'll call his "bad" PSU with designation letter 'B'. SO today I finally got around to using a multimeter on both PSUs. I ran the multimeter on my good 'A' PSU first, and then I replaced 'A' with 'B' on the motherboard. As soon...

by Lantash on 01/17/04 11:09 PM. The AC voltage displayed by a multimeter is RMS (root-mean sqaure) voltage. For a sine wave this is sqrt(2)*Peak value. For any other waveform it gets more complicated. Most AC multimeters only measures the correct RMS voltage...
