    I had a good monitor AORUS AD27QD. 3 months ago when I was sleeping monitor was on.
    I left running Metro Exodus game.

    When I woke up all electricity went down. After switching up 2 breakers for outlets and lights, power back . I have different wiring here in Poland. So dont ask about circuits.
    Pc worked fine. But monitor was not turned back. No lights when pressing button,nothing.
    I sended to rma. Here is shop RMA message:

    Shop:"We repaired PSU and sending back good monitor to client"

    Is this possible that psu of monitor can trip breaker/s then if psu inside monitor, failed?

    Also I was using a lot this monitor,playing games and left running games for 20 hours for some reason,when I go slept. I know it was stupid.


    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.


    I guess I had bad luck with monitor ( 3 months ago ) and bulb ( 2 weeks ago )?

    Shorting can cause stuff to break. Maybe buy a UPS for the pc/monitor?

    I have a question. About that propably halogen bulb. Is this possible that psu in pc tripped breakers,and not halogen bulb?

    BUT PSU OF MONITOR IS NOT THE SAME OF PC?
    So thats why i am asking about pc psu now.

    If 3 months ago monitor psu blowed , then maybe 2 weeks ago it was not bulb but psu of pc? But like i said pc working. Also psu in monitor have not the same safery features like psu in pc?


    Please answer. I am not cooled down <Lol>

    = keeps the power on to be able to turn it off properly when there are power problems and many have power surge protection.
