The computer component that presents the most risk of electric shock is the power supply. Since there are large capacitors in the power supply, it is possible that you might get shocked, even with the power supply unplugged.Another component that presents a shock risk is an internal modem. You might grab a hold of it while there is an incoming phone call, and then get shocked from the ringer current.

It depends on what PC, but your power supply will normally say on the side of it. Most commonly is between 200-400 watts Power consumption is a combination of several things. The power listed on your power supply is the amount the power supply is capable of handling. The actual power consumption of the computer depends on what processes are being used, for example word processing will consume less power than heavy gaming. However, one can expect average computer use to consume 150-200W.

What is the most efficient way to determine whether your power supply is bad?

There are 2 easy ways to check, but both require some extra equipment. The first, and easiest, is to use a power supply tester. If and when you have one, unplug the power, emove the power supply connector from the mobo, plug that into the tester, and the results should be immediate. Most of the testers have different colored LEDs to indicate the results. The second is to connect a different power supply of the same or greater voltage to your computer, if you have one. If your problem goes away, then it was the PSU, if not, keep troubleshooting. Good luck Bob
