Hi all,

 

I currently have a problem that sometimes occurs while I'm using my computer. While the computer is on, there is a chance that the computer will suddenly turn off for a split second without warning and turning on again in less than a second. At the first restart (right after the computer powers off for a quick time) there is no display (although maybe this is because I connect my computer to a TV through HDMI.... Don't ask). I suspect this is because my AVR is connected to an extension cord which is also connected to another extension cord. This is because my other computer (which is connected to the original extension cord) never gets this problem. Should I plug the AVR in the original extension cord, or is there another cause?

 

Help would be appreciated :)

Unfortuantely, I can't tell for now (the problem occurs not that often), but i already plugged the AVR into a receptacle. Hopefully it fixes the problem.

I have seen random issues that takes hours and sometimes days to show when plugged in to a extension cord. It could be a bad ground in the cord or the outlet.

Time will tell and we will have to wait for you to get back to us.
