Power supplies are probably one of the remembered components of a desktop computer. But when taken for granted, a malfunctioning PSU can lead to some serious damage to your computer. There are usually three things to look out for that can tell you that something is not right with your electric power device and this article will help identify them for your convenience. These are preventive maintenance tips that will go a long way in preserving the life of your computer.
The first of the things to look out for is overheating. Although it is normal for an electrical power device to give off heat when in use, a broken fan will increase its chances of overheating because there won’t be anything to help it cool down. That is why fans are very important to power supplies and should always be checked periodically. Overheating may also come from processors so make sure first that the electrical power device is the root of the problem in order to avoid the hassle of replacing something that isn’t broken.
Secondly, if you’ve been experiencing computer crashes or system failures lately after an upgrade, it could be a sign that your power supply is not up to the task of powering your new components. If you’re using a stock power device or one that came along with the casing, keep in mind that they are meant for entry level computers only and will not be sufficient for more powerful computers. When upgrading your computer, make sure to check the power requirements. In case your electrical power device doesn’t meet the required power, replace it immediately because it will shut down your computer’s internal components part by part eventually leading to a crash or system failure.
Last but not the least, if you hear any weird noises coming from your electrical power device, it might be a sign that it can’t handle the current workload. Its fan may also need some cleaning and oiling because a dirty fan will not spin as fast and will subject the device to overheating. If it persists even after cleaning, it may be a sign that you need to replace it.
As you can see, a power supply is an integral part of your system that requires your attention. If possible, replace it the soonest that you notice a problem. It may help you avoid bigger problems in the future that may cost a lot or even make you end up buying a new system.
