    A high-end surge protector.
    That shouldn't be the problem, then, but ... who knows. Does the high-end surge protector have a line conditioner?

      I've no idea, bought it 3 years ago. Probably not.

            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                I'm so sick of this ****. Why can't things work? Is it so hard to regulate power?

                    I tell you what, if software engineers designed hard ware things would never crash die. Err. Nevermind.

                      I think they'd need to install line conditioners all over the place.

                        I myself had the "pop" then followed by smell of burning pastic...

                        After inspection I realized the fan for the power supply had died...a while ago.

                        I figured, it's the fan, let me replace it. Tried replacing the fan to the power supply (folks at home, don't try this it is...well, not easy - it is encased into the power supply). Even after replacing the fan - nada.

                        So I ended up ordering a new power supply unit. Since then, smooth sailing.

                          The origination of the quote "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". The capacitors inside a power supply can store enough juice to kill a person if not properly discharged before servicing. I assume you knew this, but for the rest - DO NOT try this at home!

                          Apparently it is difficult to make a robust power supply. According to our stats at work, about 30% of system failures are due to the power supply. That does not even count the motherboard failures which could be attributed to uneven power.

                          Why are these things so damn difficult to build right?

                                One question that is somewhat on topic.

                                Are there any PSUs out there that have no fans at all or simply PSUs with really quiet fans.
                                Quendelie axan!
