Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
The only way I can explain it is, it smelt like burning eletrics, the smell you get when something shorts.
Can't remember the brand but it was £25 from local DIY shop, I would normally use a Belkin surge protector but haven't had time to extend the cable yet.
PC is back up and running now, no...
I've sniffed the PSU and it stinks, has that horrible "electrical" smell when something burns out.
When it popped & the power went out, I unplugged the PC straight away and flicked the trip switch back on, went back into the room and the surge protector light wasn't on, so I'm guessing it blew...
Hi All.
Just looking for some advice really.
So I had a 4 day break for Easter, I turned my PC on today and it got past the POST, the windows logo appeared on screen and then there was a loud pop and a yellow/blueish flash from under the desk.. the surge protector blew and the house electrics...
Over the past couple weeks I've been re-doing the home office.
A few more things to do, paint over the blue (just not decided on the colour), cable management, wall mount the tv & new curtains.
Replaced my keyboard and mouse today with the following :
Logitech Performance Mouse MX with Darkfield Laser Tracking
Logitech K750 Wireless Solar Powered Keyboard
Thanks, its my office & bedroom. Trying to get the small box room as a office but no chance at the mo :(
Yeah I'm from the UK & you're correct, its Sky+ HD :)
No I didn't, the engineer that came out today didn't know what was causing it either.
He only brought out one monitor so I've had to open another ticket about the 2nd one.
