Did low voltage cause the pc to fail?

May I ask just how many years experience YOU have in
power supply, design, and construction in the commercial
world (i.e., actually shipping this sort of product in volume)?

Let's face it, the guy is a troll, spouting out all sorts of rubbish with
nothing to back it up. The crossposting doesn't do anything to support his
credibility either. It's a clear and proveable *fact* that some power
supplies will fail when run at low line voltage, he may wish to stick his
head in the sand and refuse to believe that such products are out there but
they do exist and I would guess that a great many of them somehow manage to
outlast their warranty period before failing, or fail due to other causes
first.

And, of course, every PC ever produced anywhere in the world
IS by definition completely, utterly, and totally compliant with
Intel's specs, right? :) :) :)

Ah, to live in such a world....

Being in the software industry I can attest to the fact that power supplies
aren't the only part of a computer that regularly fails to compy with specs.
Most people would be shocked at the number of computer parts and peripherals
that not only don't meet various specs but are utterly broken right from the
start. USB devices that will crash a machine if it comes out of sleep mode,
PCI cards that have timing issues, graphics cards that will crash the OS at
the drop of a hat, plenty of devices that work fine on their own but won't
cooperate with other peripherals and these are all shipped products that are
on store shelves.
