Hi,
I am not exactly sure if your fears are unfounded but i believe that
making power saving adjustments isn't very healthy for the system
in certain cases. I have heard about undervolting the processor
and similar adjustments made particularly in laptops.These are surely
not nice for the system.
Yes I did get my system fixed, after burning a large hole in my pocket and
putting some serious dent on linux's reputation. (My Windows friends told me
it was due to Linux).
Thanks anyway

I searched web for some time and couldnt find anything like this,
there is a chance that there is a problem with your electrical wiring.

No I don't think so,you see there is a power saving mode called sleep mode
right? I tried testing it. I would got to sleep mode, the fan stopped, the
HDD stopped, The computer behaved as if it were switched off. But when I
moved the mouse it started again pretty fast. I did two three times and on

Hi,
@BINNY
Looks like a serious problem you have there. But I don't really see
how GNU/Linux could have caused that. I have used sleep/suspend mode
several times on my 2 systems without ever having any problems. And as
someone mentioned, I couldn't find on the net -any reports of such
failures.
Hi,
That was a really informative and well laid out post :)
And yes. I never meant that ubuntu does damage by
using default management options.Its just that the net
has got lots of power management tweaks that just might
turn out to be unhealthy.But it also turns out the tweaks
are also labelled

Thanks for the compliment :). I was forced to write this up because he

Hi Visakh,
Yup, It was marked " completely insane " . I mean the section on
undervolting the processor.
I just found the page,

I use a dell xps, thats how i got a glance at this page.

Well i am grateful to everyone for taking this post seriously. I didnt
suspect Linux either and I intend to believe it was a faulty SMPS. But
after the incident I am afraid to use the sleep mode. The reason I am

Well about the stabilizer, its actually a manual stabilizer not the
automatic ones. When the voltage drops my UPS starts beeping as though the
power had gone off and many a time I had to switch off the PC. I solved the
problem by using the stabilizer , it has a switch for selecting the voltage

Hi,
@BINNY
The more you describe the problem, the more it appears to me like a
power supply issue rather than a power management issue. As far as I
know, all computer CRT monitors are designed to switch off their CRT
when the video signal form the system disappears. Other than that,
their CRT p
The same problem exists for windows also
In my previous office, there was a computer which goes to sleep mode and
could'nt recover from that. By experience we learned that there is
something wrong in hardware ( and not that of OS) and changed the

Thanks for the help

Hi,
@ BINNY
You should avoid the use of stabilizer. UPS is good enough.
Check your main supply- the live voltage and the earthing. You can
ask someone who knows how to operate a multimeter.
Watch out for any anomaly with UPS. Examining and repairing UPS will
require specialized equipment an
No I didn't face any problems with the new system except with the monitor as
mentioned which is very old. Well maybe the mains is the problem since my
system was replaced many times(one time it was due to prolonged disuse and
lizards had made a home in the pc case) and there were electrical problem

Yes, If you don,t use something for a long time such things will happen[?].

Hi,
I read the post about lizards finding home in the pc,and
i couldn't resist posting this. My laptop's motherboard
was ruined by ants. It seems ants have taken a liking
for my laptops motherboard as well as the keyboard.
People who use dell laptops take this seriously, i had to
change the mother
Well I didnt use the pc for two weeks. The back of the tower case had open
portals for adding various upgrades. The rodents entered cyberspace through
the portal and spawned there[?]. They caused a short circuit on the mainboard
