Hi guys. First of all, I'm new here, this is my first thread as well as first post, so hi to you all! :)

Please bear with me, especially if I post this thread in the wrong place or do something I shouldn't.

Now about my problem. I'm looking to buy a new stabilizer. For most people this may be a simple straightforward issue but I have problems. In the last 5 months I have lost a RAM module, my motherboard bricked (went dead), and the capacitors on my graphics card shorted out. My power supply also went kaputt, all thanks to voltage.

I'm looking to buy a new stabilizer now. I'm running the following things at the moment. A PC with PSU rated at 500 watts, 17" LCD at 1.6A (which is something like 100 watts?), a speaker set at 1A (60watt?), and a normal wifi PTCL router.

For this, I'm looking to buy a stabilizer rated at around 800 watts which should be enough for me. But the problem is that there is too much electrical noise in my power line. The capacitors on my graphics card didn't just short, they actually popped open. The motherboard before it went dead produced alot of high pitched noise on my speakers. The speakers themselves have been damaged, the woofer constantly emits a small hum. Because of this, I need a stabilizer with a sine inverter component. Plus with the frequent power spikes, it should also have a 3 step relay system like the usual STAC stabilizers.

Can anyone tell me what to do? I can not afford to lose any more money. My budget is about 5000 rs. If there's some way I can get a sine wave inverter and stabilizer and foolproof protect my system?

Edit: I found these two wikipedia links. This is what happened to my GFX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague. And this is what I experienced with my last motherboard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_harmonic_distortion.

welcome to pakistan my friend. KESC had toasted 2 AMD high end rig in my house. left only 2 intact. Same as yours, PSU busted. mobo went wrong. all USB ports can't be used anymore. i bought static stabilizer but it also failed. then i bought KOSS 1kva UPS+Stabilizer. cost you around 15k. backup power ready for 15minutes and good for 1 PTCL modem+desktop (Phenom X4 setting) 22" LCD. Alternatively you can buy used one selling inside PG market section.

typical stabilizer can't provide good protection for your pc. seek one with brand like KOSS, APC and such to keep your pc out of harms way.

Yar I can't afford 15k!!! Even second hand me 5000 6000 se ziada kharch nahi karsakta, and thats stretching it. My rig doesn't draw that much power but the lines leading to my house are so pathetic, if you connected a oscilloscope to it, it would probably look like a death metal song playing.

Stabimatic is a good brand too
Bro stabimatic isn't that good, me ne is se pehle 3 stabilizers jala die hain, plus itna sara loss, I can't take any more heavy expenditure like that man.

UPS normally has a clean regulated output signal to the PC, I don't think you need a stabilizer bro. :)

    lol. Nintendo games are literally for kids. But to burst some bubbles, I'd like to point out that there are numerous Nintendo emulators available for PC, including multiple Switch emulators. Game compatibility is also pretty good, with overrated games like " Super Mario Odyssey ", "Breath of the WIld" & "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" all being playable. Sour grapes are hard to swallow, i know... :sneaky:

    These misconceptions are downright hilarious. The best console games are made by Nintendo, and you get nothing from them on PC. And I laughed so hard at "better online experience". Literally the worst place to play any multiplayer game is PC. Cheater/hacker heaven of a platform :sick:

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    PC gaming is literally at the peak of elitism right now. Literally all the best games from all the other platforms ends up on PC with better graphics/performance. The traditional PC advantages are also present (better performance/graphics on multi-platform games), better online experience, better game stores, best older games compatibility, emulator support, best mod support, best trainer support, and the list is endless. The console kids can point out at specific individual games & be like "but mah game is nawt availabul on yer platzformm", an i say " we really don't care". Nobody cares about a missing dish when you're at the buffet & can enjoy all the best dishes. :sneaky:
