Hello.

I had a good monitor AORUS AD27QD. 2 months ago when i was sleeping monitor was on. When i woke up all electricity went down. After switching 2 small breakers power back . Pc works fine. But monitor was not turned back. I sended to rma.

Here is shop RMA message:

Shop:"We repaired PSU and sending back good monitor to client". So it was psu of monitor tripped breakers,right? Ok solved. New monitor after rma.

But. 1 month ago something tripped 2 small breakers again. All electricity went down again. Then.......i go to bathroom and saw that one of 3 halogen bulbs no lightning. So one bulb get burned. Not again ( my luck ) psu of monitor.

My question is. That i have something with wiring? Or just had bad luck with psu monitor and halogen bulb?

Building is from 2005 ,electricity,breakers,wiring are for 99% fine. Because now working like it should.

What I learned from my 2 GPU deaths is:

1 - Without proper grounding you're screwed,

2 - Whenever you connect different devices with a cable it's best to plug them in the same socket (shouldn't be an issue where there's good power quality, tho),

3 - No power surge protection will suffice if a thunder strikes too close.

So basically if everything is up to code, and you have good power quality, there's no reason to worry. I guess buying a power surge protector with voltage stabilization or a UPS is not a bad idea, but when there's a thunder storm unplugging everything is the best protection.

Light bulbs burn from time to time, as for the monitor you can google forums to see if others had that problem with that model, or in particular that PSU, if it's external. To make sure your wiring is good it takes an electrician to check, and I don't mean your neighbor's cousin who knows stuff, I mean a proper expert.
