Interpreting power supply specs - Enermax MODU82+ 525 Watt

OK, thanks. I understand, now. I was confused in that I thought you added up the amperage across all three rails to determine the total 12V amperage combined. (No, I didn't bother to look at the label. Duh...) This PSU will soon be mine, then. :) Thanks, guys! the Animal: LOL - How...

Electrostatic discharge causing new build to reboot

Ray was thinking along the same lines, too. Certainly is worth a try. Before I remove the MB from the case, I'll disconnect the reset switch leads from the MB header and give that theory a spin. Thx.

Electrostatic discharge causing new build to reboot

Interesting development. The wall outlet tests fine. Also, they ran a ground wire from the case to a water pipe and the same thing continues to happen. As long as Michelle grounds herself first, or at least lowers her electrical potential by touching some metal object first, like the big metal...

Electrostatic discharge causing new build to reboot

A new system I built for a dear friend reboots every time she or anyone touches the case without touching ground first. Sometimes, if she just shifts in her chair and touches the case it will reboot. I've built quite a few machines over the past 10 years and this is the first one that I've had a...
