Hey guys,
I am new to this forum so I apologize for just coming in and telling you my problem expecting an answer. But I was really desperate and now I need to know if the action I took was correct and be certain my computer will not burn out on me in two days.
Here is how it all started, I brought this computer that was not going to be used at work anymore, didn't even know the specs but from how it looked it just needed a bit of cleaning. So I got him and the first thing that I did was try it out, but I didn't have enough space on my desk to put it somewhere else, so I placed it right next to my first computer, could not even fit a needle in between so there was no gap. Well it worked fine, I saw the specs were pretty cool, 1.4Ghz blah blah . So after that I decide to turn on my computer, well when I switch back all the cables and try to turn it on, well my computer just turned on and off on and off repeatedly. I went ahead and opened it up to see what was going on, still did the same thing, it got to the point where it would not turn on at all, so I immediately thought the PSU went wrong, even though I bought it a year ago maybe placing it so close messed it up. So I switched PSU's, thankfully they were the same specs, same watts and everything...
Now my computer works fine, but in the back of head I think it will stop fuctioning and don't exactly know what went wrong, thus i have a question.
Can really placing the two computers so close together and turning one on mess up the PSU or any other components of the computer next to it?
Do you guys think what i did was right, and will I encounter any problems?
Sorry, I know my post is a little long but I am somewhat desperate, any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
