I'd obviously partly damaged the old one with my prodding around under power and the cap probably partially discharged through it. So the 10 shilling postal order and box of After Eight mints goes to.... Jeff Liebermann! :-) |

If the supply is sluggish or inop when cold, it most likely has high esr electrolytics. Even when warm enough to allow function, they still allow sag and ripple on the outputs which can upset whatever is connected to it. Good chance everything gets fixed with the new supply. Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems weird to me that the video output fails after quite some time, maybe as long as 36 hours. I looked at the caps on the video card and none have any obvious bulging or leaking. So I'm just gonna shop around for video cards and when the new power supply is installed if the video out fails again then I'll get the card I want. Eric |
