Have you ever felt like electronics have plans behind your?

The day before Chinese New Year, my PC suddenly died and after I removed all the power supply cables and checked them using a multitester, all the voltages were above standard and that could damage other components even though there was an IC protection for this problem.

I'm sorry that happened. I wonder what caused the power surge?

@DaddyEvil After I tested using another normal power supply, my motherboard was damaged and I had to investigate the problem.

@nela13 I'm still looking for suitable components and haven't found them yet. I am currently investigating which components are leaking and causing other components to become damaged.

Not yet, because some highly sensitive components have undergone value changes, so I need to conduct an experiment before proceeding.

"Above standard" means exceeding a device's normal limits, which can damage components along that circuit.

@nawala123 More precisely, the protection is unable to withstand a relatively heavy load.

no problem, I don't need a new computer yet. Of course, if you buy a new computer, you will need more power and adjustments to other components.

it is not fixed yet and needs schematic to know component code equation and is quite complicated.
