Not the best of days then Ben still better to get it done sooner than later. hopefully then there shouldn't be any further problem.
Day started out ok, here plan was do a bit on Trainz and as it's been quite hot here for a change, then attack the garden....
So made some narrow roads and dirt tracks suitable for my North Wales NG route, planted a few in surveyor, went into driver for a quick test, five minutes down the line Trainz crashed, odd I thought? Don't get crashes here.
So rebooted PC, or rather tried to, sizzling noise, odd smell and the RCD kicked in and killed the electric, conveniently crashing number 2 PC and setting off the burglar alarm........... Why must they design them so they go off when the power fails?
On investigation, Power Supply had gone dead short across the mains, not supposed to do that! So after phone call to supplier packaged up one 2 month old 650 watt not cheap power supply for return. Oddly enough they didn't quibble about replacing, different manufacturer as they are not supplying that model any longer, wonder why?
Dropped in a spare 650 watt I had lying around, the one I was using before I rebuilt the PC, after hunting through a ton and a half of junk to find it! and all working again, luckily seems to be no damage to the motherboard etc and I've left the AI playing in Trainz for a couple of hours and it's working OK. Not impressed with the failed power supply though which was red hot when I initially checked it. Coolermaster if anyone's wondering.
Never got round to the garden................:hehe:
). Nothing like driving 70 miles to take the test and another 70 back in disgrace. I am not the only one.
