Hello,
Perhaps a weird question. I know experienced the 4th power failure (whole cityblock!) in about the same number of weeks.
This time, just before everything failed, the lights dimmed and flickered. The weird thing is: my PC beeped during this period (I heard 3 or 4 beeps before everything went dead).
Just curious: where do the beeps come from?
The mainboard is a SuperMicro X5DA8 (dual Xeon), powersupply is a PC Power and Cooling 510XE; the bios is configured to remain off in the event of a power failure (so the beeps aren't caused by attempts to boot!) and I have no UPS installed (but am seriously considering one now).
