[QUOTE="corporal_Canada, post: 155, member: 104"] hello, im a french Canadian that moved to the Philippines for no obvious reason.. please forgive my english if it isnt up to UK perfection after finally setteling down, i got a computer tower.. i got tired of the celeron cpu in my 100$ fujitsu laptop... the tower is using an AMD A8-7680 apu some chinese 8gb ram stick Filipinoe psu that apperantly runs at 117C all the time... ??? it HAD a chinese ssd 256gb (mctech) so heres the issue...it is no secret that Philippines has dirty electricity (due to static in the power lines) so... i was under the impression i had to use an automatic voltage regulator (avr).... but the pc and the avr have 3 prongs to go into outlet (land power)... but all the outlets in my home only hve 2 prongs.. so no grounding prong ... i started using the pc with the avr.. not noticing that i was getting shocked each time i touched the tower case or any usb connected to the tower.... eventually i wired a cable from a screw to the ground hoping that would do something... at this point i just assumed the avr was faulty and stopped using it... but....... everything i downloaded (torrent wise) was corrupted.. [B]nothing illegal[/B] i assure you....i have 2 external hdd's connected to the tower 500gb and 2tb... everything that goes there is corrupted... i swapped the 256gb ssd and plugged in a 128gb ssd (ramsta), installed linux... gave up.. reinstalled windows 10.... problem still there....and yes i booted the pc into a flashed usb of memtest 86 and ran it overnight... it had a big green PASS.. said it ran 13x.. but its also possible that i unintentionally ran a cpu test and not a ram test... i will attach a photo, feel free to look at it... merci and thank you...
