Which rig? (you might be using your main rig for all I know)
On the main rig, the folding rig at time gets better WU than main one

Well, I think I fried my PSU last night; Was woken up @3AM by my wife who said she smelled a smoke smell; I walked into my office and it smelled like burned electronics...
This morning I was able to get it to do a split-second light up of the LEDs on the case fans - and then nothing.
Definitely seems like the smell is coming from the PSU - Corsair TX850...
Hopefully that is it - going to try to throw in a better rated and higher rated one tonight.
Today, my PPD will be suffering mightily.
Damn, that sucks.
Have you got any older hardware to try it out on to make sure?
That is why I went back to the console client, almost all A3 cores.....Wow. A4 cores really don't like giving PPD, do they?
Doesn't that mean that you can't actually use the PC for every day use?
Unfortunately no... But I guess this is an opportunity to either fix my current build - or start a new one; I decided to go with:
Seasonic USA - Platinum Series 1000 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply
Found a good deal at $250 for that one...
If that's not the problem, at the very least it's a big improvement over the Corsair...
ouch expensive, if it had been out of warranty lol.Thought I should follow up; I'm back running again; I ended up putting in the new power supply - and that was NOT it! (so now I have a fancy new power supply - and a spare for my next rig);
Turns out it was the bottom Gigabyte GTX 570; when I disconnected it from power the computer booted up. When I took the card out I heard a rattle - which turned out to be a loose chip with an "R30" printed on it.
RMA in process ;-) I guess thats the best reason for going SLI though - at least I'm still able to use my rig.
