Power issue...

Rob · 01-June-04, 06:35 PM

Here something that happened to me over the weekend...

Had my computer running and then I decided to plug in the USB cable of an external AcomData HD while it was off and when I turned the HD on, my computer rebooted itself.

Power supply issue or mobo issue?

Edit: Antec SL400 and an ASUS A7N266-VX (Sony variation to the VM model). I had a feeling that it's a compatibility issue with the OEM mobo and the non-propriatary power supply. I think I'm just going to hook the old one into the mobo and the new one for the HD's, etc. It'll give this nOOb experience in installing switches and setup design. Thanks.

Always use a quality power supply. I learned it first hand. Blew 2 generic ones before I learned. My brother got a Thermaltake and it works great. I use an Antec.
