It’s hard to say but I can assure you that it wasn’t your PC. Check the breaker and see if it’s warm to the touch which it shouldn’t be. If it is it has a load on it that your not aware ofHello. Today first time something tripped breaker in my house. I mean i was sitting on Windows 10 desktop ,like always and i hear BUM from fuse box. And power go down. Pc turned off.
I have that pc almost 1 year and something like that never happened. I think there was not circuit overload,because all devices was off,like tv,washer etc. Only pc was on. And nothing get damaged. Anybody have clue why it happened?
To turn back power again i change breaker to up of course. And its fine again.
PC:
Aorus AD27QD
AORUS PRO Z390-PRO GAMING
Aorus 2080 Ti waterforce stock
2x16GB DDR4 GSKILL XMP
9700K STOCK
Seasonic TX-750W TITANIUM PLUS PRIME
Never happened with that pc in whole year. Also pc is stable during full load etc.
Today i just browsing internet and power goes down with tripped breaker.
Pc working like before again. Weird any clues?
Or maybe pc is faulty? I mean some part and it caused that once?
All other devices in house was off,like tv,washer,lights.
@Sew33 To be perfectly honest I don’t have a clue. Does your breaker Trip when 1 light blows in the same light or does a breaker trip when any bulb blows in any light fixture ?Why i lose a power circuit too when a bulb blowed on a lighting circuit?
When a breaker trips it will take power off lights and receptacles. It all depends on how the electrician wired it up so yes that’s not unusualyes two small tripped breakers near each other. One for lights in house,second for power in wall sockets.
Why i lose a power circuit too when a bulb blowed on a lighting circuit?
why power in wallsockets go out and lights at the same time? its as expected?
RCD ( that biggest on left ) not tripped.
So it was normal when power in whole house goes off and lightings off too?When a breaker trips it will take power off lights and receptacles. It all depends on how the electrician wired it up so yes that’s not unusual
I’m not saying that you are loosing ALL power I’m just saying that a lot of electricians put lights and some receptacles on one circuit. Are you saying that your main breaker is tripping?So it was normal when power in whole house goes off and lightings off too?
