My computer power supply just blew. The computer was off and when I plugged it in, I heard a pop and then it wouldn't start when I pressed the on button. I know it's the power supply because it happened before, probably about a year ago. So I have to replace the power supply but now I'm wondering - why has this happened twice?
It's on a surge protected socket. I would have thought that would have protected it from any weirdness in the plug socket. No other device seems to have been affected in the same place, although I guess many aren't as sensitive to this sort of thing. So any ideas why this would have happened? Any way I can protect from it happening again?
