hi. if your mining with a good few rigs then take note. i checked my mining rigs today and all the wiring from the consumer unit to the wall socket. lucky i did as i had a very badly burned and melted 100 amp main switch. it was due to a loose connection which was arcing. so i suggest you all go check all your electrics just to be safe. the connections are brass and the wires are copper so they heat and expand at different rates. meaning the screws can loosen over time. if your putting a lot of power through it all you could have a problem

This is great advice - and maybe even though I been mining for well over a year this is a newb question - but I have a feeling there's some problem with my electrical, though not 100% sure. Something weird happen with my power supply after windows 10 update. It kept beeping. It's actually a UPS, cyber power. I unplugged the UPS, tested it with another device and it worked but still beeped. I unplugged UPS for 5 minutes, replugged it back in, plugged in my rig, rolled back windows 10, and now its working. However, one of the sockets on the UPS stopped working after a storm a few months ago (I foolishly had a heavy duty power cord connected). I only have 4 GPUs, 1000 watt gold psu. I'm in a fairly nice sized home, haven't had any issues with electrical yet, but I'm starting to wonder. And beyond this, I don't know much about electrical. Where can I start? Any guidance at all is helpful. I was thinking to call electric company. I don't want to really hire an electrician for my measely one rig, but I also want to avoid a fire, etc. Also my gpus are overclocked now, they weren't last summer. I'm wondering if now that we're turning the central air on, it's impacting that? Any advice is appreciated! Thinking of resetting my GPUs from overclock or just shutting it altogether until I figure this out. I think it would be fine, but don't wanna take any chances!
