Hi,
I hv a Intel Celeron 1 Ghz System with Mercury SMPS 115/230 V, 6A/4A : 250W,
Recently I was hearing cery faint "Keeeech Keeech" sound from the SMPS and my PC was not POST ing ...
even when it POSTed and booted into the OS [XP] , it wud suddenly restart without any reason.
While it didnot POST , the LEDs of my CDRW and DVDRW wud constantly blink.
I think my SMPS hv given out on me..
So i had it changed, I bought a new one from Foxin [ 400W] and PC is working fine.
I don't hv a UPS as of now.
What do u think was the cause of my trouble ?
Do I need to get a UPS ? if any then from which company, the guy from whom i bought SMPS is asking me to get a Proview UPS , but when I insisted on APC he said to me that APC has trouble with Low Voltages... is that true ?
Is Proview worth the odd 1700 bucks ?
Let me kno ppl!
Thx in advance
