I few weeks ago my brother’s computer wouldn't start on the first power up.
When you push the power button, it would turn off 2 seconds later. After 10
to 20 tries I would get it to boot up and it would work find until he turned
off the computer again. I tested everything from the motherboard, CPU, power
supply to the motherboard and everything seem to work find. After testing
everything and putting everything back, the computer worked without any
problems for almost two weeks before started to act up again. I tried
switching the voltage switch on the power supply to 230V and it works every
time but when I put it back to 115V, the problem returns. I live in Canada
and everything is 115/240V. Does anyone why it works on 230 and not on 115?
Will it fry computer parts at 230V?
Thanks,
Kristopher
P.S. Every other computer (3 others) work find on 115v.
