Daghana na sad nanggawas ui..

@simoko prehas ni sa akong power supply sauna mag 1yr old pa gani Cougar 500Watts, unya bag-o pa jud nako gpalit ang WD 1TB HDD sa PCQuickbuys 1day pa ako gi uli nako, nahibong ko nga 50% Health nlng nya daghan kaayo og bad sectors, ako gi uli sa PCQuickbuys, ana sila walay problema ang HDD ilang gi testingan 100% Health man unya ang Power Time minutes pa, naglibog ko unsa jud ang problema, nagsuway nako sa lain,paslak sa lain PC nanghangyo nlng ko sa akong kauban Okay ra jud kaayo siya, nagtoo ko nga ang Motherboard nako ang guba, pag upgrade nako sa akong Power Supply nag ilis ko og CoolerMaster 620Watts, ni 100% Health na siya, so it means ang PSU jud ang culprit ato.

I'm thinking voltage spikes at rapid read/writes.. murag osciloscope rah tingale magamit nimo check ani.. or analog nga voltmeter..try to check supply voltaged at HDD loads and IDLE..

mkaguba tingale nah cya HDD kay dli stable ang iyang plotter or needle inig fluctuate sa supply? your guess is as good as mine.. but thanks sa info.. karon paq kadungog ani nga issue..

There`s one way to check if the voltages are noisy without an oscilloscope, 1K ohm 1/4 watt ug earphones ra ang katapat, i-series ang resistor sa terminal sa earphone then use it just like a multimeter, listen and memorize the "thug" sound sa AA 1.5V battery, karon kung familiar na ka sa sound sa PURE DC nga supply, turn ON the PC, stress test it with orthos or anything benchmarking software imong PC, now connect the modded earphone to each and every voltage sa PSU (3V, 5V, 12V) with the other wire in the ground, any hissing background, or rippling after the thug sound would mean the PSU has noise problem, though it cannot determine the amount of the noise/ripple but surely it can detect the intensity of the ripple, now you can safely say that the filters on the PSU are leaking maski walay namurot nga caps, comparison method ni, so kung ang 5V section ang kusog ug ripple maka identify na ka ug asa nga sector imong pang ilisan ug capacitor....

Note: wala ni sa google....hehe, im basing it on my extensive experience on electronic communications, i-try ug search kay taga-an nako ug ribbon ang makakita.....hehehehe

@simoko boss naa ko suggestion, ako nalang na imong power supply basin dili na siya ganahan nimo hehehe joke

IdoLa ani uyh. Gamit kaayo ni ang mga CD-r King nga earphones ani ron.
