Help

 

Ok

This is the second time this has happened, but I think I know why now. The first time, no.

 

I bought a 2 to 6 port power adapter, one that screws into the wall socket. It is has a surge protector built in.

 

I think it broke.

After about a week or two, when I woke up, my PC wouldn't power on.

Turned out my power supply got broken / broke.

 

I RMA'ed it, thinking the PSU broke normally, not due to something else.

When I got my new one, I tested it downstairs, and it worked fine with the paperclip test.

I then fully installed it in my system, still downstairs, on a normal socket without an adapter. Worked fine

 

I took it up to my room, plugged it into the adapter socket, tried to turn on, stopped working in the exact same way.

 

The adapter must be broken, and I think it is tripping something inside the PSU. It sounds just like the first one, a light ticking inside, and the fans spin for like a second, then go off.

 

 

Question:

 

What do you think is wrong? Is it something like overvoltage/undervoltage?

A protector within the PSU that isn't resetting?

 

Is there a way to reset a powersupply, like bridging two pins on the 24 pin or something
