WHAT CAUSES PC POWER SUPPLY FAILURE?
A lot can cause a PC power supply failure which can make it hard to diagnose why your computer is not powering on, requiring you to need computer power supply repair service.
Most PC power supply failures happen after a big surge of power.
In South Florida, we are not shy on storms knocking out our power and the flickering of lights, and this is why having everything on a surge protector or battery backup is such a good thing.
When you have a power surge, the power can travel back into the power supply unit and cause damage to the inside of the computer. A surge protector helps prevent this from happening by eating up the excess electricity. However, the best way to protect your computer from surges is to get a battery backup. Then, the battery will kick in when there is a power outage and keep your computer running without shutting it off. In the long term, this is the best way to protect your computer.
Another cause of PC power supply failure could be due to a dead fan inside causing it to overheat.
The fan in your power supply helps keep everything on the inside cool and prevents overheating from occurring.
When the power supply gets too hot and overheats, they tend to burn up from the inside leaving you needing computer power supply repair service.
The main power supply inside a computer does a lot of work. It takes the presence of voltage and converts it into the presence of current for everything else in the computer to use. From the CPU to the monitor, the power supply is basically running everything. With electricity running through the components and then adding a lack of cooling down things, you can imagine how hot it can get. A power supply that is not operating at the optimal temperature can cause a computer to fail or become incredibly slow.
