I originally had an Enermax 600w PSU which died suddenly whist I was using it. I had it for about a year.
The internal fuse appeared to have blown.
I couldn't wait for the RMA turn around (which turned out to be rather quick) so I bought a new Coolermaster 620w Modular PSU with the intention of selling the Enermax on eBay.
Today my Coolermaster presented with a red light, meaning its suffered a problem. But it worked this morning.

My computer is sat behind a surge protector which wasn't tripped and is turned off at the wall when not in use, not to mention my server (which is in the same room) is fine.

They don't appear to related and is just the latest entry into my bad luck. Luckly I haven't got around to putting the Enermax on eBay yet.

Yesterday my keyboard and mouse were rendered useless because of the official wireless reciever for a 360 controller taking too much power from USB, solved by plugging it into a powered USB hub.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Even then, I only usually talk in Discord, and only on two channels-- one is a general gaming discussions channel, and the other is one with my high school buddies.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Best way to do it I like being able to count the people I keep around on my fingers
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Agreed. Managing how many friends you have can be exhausting.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Or rather, managing relationships. Sad as it is, I don't even usually talk to too many people I've known in other places I've lived.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I've moved around several times in my adult life. And apart from my old high school buddies on Discord, I only talk to one of my old co-workers from the last place I lived.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Shame, too, because I've met some cool people over the years, and hung out plenty of times with some of them. But comunication just kind of fizzles out shortly after I move.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Moving can be the worse part I stayed they left still keep in touch with a few
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    that annoys me
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    his dusty ahh shouldve stayed their
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    rich people can pay their way out of anything
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    tax them all into poverty now
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Well he assaulted a man this time so I guess he's slowly learning
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    so he didn't even go to jail for hitting rihanna
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    his bail should've been 100 mil
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    If I got 1mill over Chris brown hitting me I'd gladly accept it
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    they don't get it tho isn't it the police
  • E @ esotericelephant:
    u deserve more bb
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Usually victim gets something from the celeb if they're lesser known person getting attacked
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Has Gatorade always came in cans? https://a.co/d/2AYN8Mu
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Bail is kind of a BS mechanic in the real world.
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    Good for the people that aren't guilty of much, or anything, who may really need it. But being able to pay £5 million to get your ass out of jail for proven assault is shitty.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    People assault each other every day how much should poverty have to pay?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'd say do a few months and be required rehab time
  • Delerious @ Delerious:
    I can agree to that.
    Delerious @ Delerious: I can agree to that.
