    Couldn’t get it to display anything this evening other than BIOS screen. It just showed green post and white vga lights on motherboard so contacted PCS and they advised reseating RAM sticks. Then the LEDs just flashed red with an error code 98 on motherboard and the screen showed a message...

    Thanks, yeah I’ll order the belkin one, can’t get the APC one delivered here unfortunately. I just chose that one above because it had a higher joule rating incase that helped. Had one before included with the PC

    Oh ok no that’s all already disabled by default, was just wondering if it would have been healthier for it than shutting off. Sorry last question, would a surge protector be ok for it or does it need plugged into mains. I currently have it on this on its own

    PCSPECIALIST Noise when switching on PC at back of case

    Yeah when it first happened the noise stood out. I’ve sent them the video too, hopefully it’s clear enough for them. In person, it seems louder like more of a ‘pop.’ That’s good lol because was worried incase it started a fire or damaged the other components. Thank yous both for the help

    PCSPECIALIST Noise when switching on PC at back of case

    Ah thank you, any reason why it is louder when the PC is off for a day or few days? Yeah I do unless I plan on using it later in same day. Though I think I’m going to stop doing that since I had read that it’s not advised
