wiring problems?

10 Sep 2007

so this morning, my bro’s schoolmate’s home caught fire. twice. 1st time the switchbox went aflame. later, a surge somehow created another spark in the master bedroom.

reason: old wiring.

back in my home, i had to recently replace the server’s PSU with a new Powerlogic 500W. and a few days ago the new PSU itself started giving symptoms of irregularity.

yesterday, my gaming machine won’t wake up from S3 mode. shrugging it off, i powercycled the PSU and all was OK. FPS was low during WoW raids, but i didn’t think much of it.

today, the same thing happened, but the machine never recovered. wouldn’t even start the POST sequence. tried switching around my motherboard, as well as other components, but nothing. looks like another PSU problem.

should i be worried and get my wiring checked? we seem to have had at least 2 trips in the past 2-3 months. :O

and it sux that i can’t even play katamari damacy tonight cuz i haven’t burnt myself a copy. >_<
