    If the power goes out for a long time, it will generally not cause harm to the motherboard's memory and graphics card. It's just the hard drive that hurts. Because the hard disk stops suddenly at a high speed of 7200 rpm, it will hurt the platter.

    In the case of too many glitches in the computer power supply, insufficient power supply voltage, excessive static electricity, excessive humidity, etc., it will cause great damage to the whole computer. The most important thing is that the power supply is insufficient, and the mains voltage is insufficient, which is very dangerous to the computer. So when you buy a computer, you can save anything, and don't make the power supply too bad.

    I once had a lack of mains voltage, and then someone next to me turned on the air conditioner, and as a result, the computer motherboard, CPU and power supply were damaged together. Lesson of blood.

    The main thing is that the hard disk is bad, the hard disk reads by the head, and the head can not be reset in time when the power failure is accidental, resulting in damage to the hard disk.

    An unexpected power outage will not cause damage to the motherboard, BIOS, CPU, memory, graphics card.

    Insufficient heat dissipation can cause CPU damage.

    Frequent power outages won't burn out your computer's motherboard, but:

    1. Frequent power outages will not burn the computer motherboard, which will be harmful to the "hard disk" and "system", because the sudden power failure will cause the reading and writing of the Tanzheng Lu hard disk to stop "suddenly clearing", the information is not saved, and the magnet is not returned.

    2. Frequent power outages will not burn the computer motherboard, which will be harmful to the 'system', and the working system is prone to collapse due to sudden power failure.

    3. Will frequent power outages burn the computer motherboard: No. Because of the normal operation under the voltage of 22V, it is safer to bring the motherboard to zero voltage suddenly, and the motherboard will not be burned without voltage anyway.

    No. If the power is off, the equipment will not be burned, in a sense, it will be safer after the power is off; However, the sudden power failure of the running hard disk will have a negative impact, which is harmful to the running software and system operation; Unsaved files are lost and so on.

    As we know, the internal hardware of a computer mainly includes CPU, graphics card, memory, motherboard, hard disk, power supply, etc. If you want to understand the impact of a sudden power failure on the hardware, you mainly look at the CPU, graphics card, memory, motherboard, hard disk, power supply and other hardware.

    Generally speaking, the CPU, the graphics card, and the memory are all installed on the motherboard, and the motherboard is designed with power-off protection, so it is usually unlikely to damage the CPU, memory, graphics card and other hardware.

    For example, some inferior power supplies, especially low-cost power supplies that cut corners, are sometimes easy to cause power damage due to the lack of protection modules inside.

    The reasons why computer motherboards are prone to burning are as follows:

    1. The current provided by the power supply is too large: it is common in the self-configured non-original power supply, and the current and voltage of the power supply itself do not match the computer, resulting in the motherboard being easy to burn;

    2. Voltage instability: whether it is the unstable line voltage or the voltage instability caused by the power supply being used for too long, it will increase the possibility of the computer motherboard being burned;

    3. The motherboard itself is a refurbished component: the slightly burned motherboard is sometimes repaired and sold by unscrupulous vendors, and this kind of motherboard is easy to burn out again;

    4. Computer heat dissipation problems: the shutdown or jamming of the host or laptop fan will lead to insufficient heat dissipation, and if the computer is used for a long time every day, it is easy to burn the motherboard.

    Troubleshooting method: 1. If it is the original power supply, check its service life to see if it has exceeded for a long time (if it exceeds, it is recommended to replace the original power supply);

    2. Use a multimeter to detect the stability of the line voltage and the power supply current in several homes, and compare the standard current and voltage on the label to see if the deviation is too large;

    3. Carefully inspect the motherboard to see if there is any indication that the mold head is a refurbished motherboard;

    4. Turn on the computer vertically and observe the rotation of the fan through the vent.

    Tripping power outage, for the computer belongs to the "abnormal shutdown", generally speaking, abnormal shutdown has a potential threat to the hard disk, sudden power failure may lead to the appearance of the hard disk for the appearance of the force disk bad lane, and in the process of writing data to the hard disk due to power failure and interruption, may lead to the damage of some files and data of the hard disk, serious system crash. CPUs, motherboards, and graphics cards are basically not damaged by power outages.

    1. If the graphics card CPU is operating under high load, such as playing large games, will the sudden power outage cause damage, reduce the performance of the CPU and graphics card, or cause heat dissipation problems for both?

    2. In the computer, in addition to the hard disk, other memory (such as memory, CPU cache) are volatile memory, after power failure, all the data in the memory will be lost, and the data and instructions in the CPU cache will also be lost, so the CPU will not be able to process any instructions even if it is still running. Moreover, the CPU is a semiconductor device, and it will no longer work immediately after losing power and will not be damaged. The heat dissipation problem is actually not very serious, and after the desktop computer shuts down normally, the fan will also stop running, regardless of the CPU temperature at that time.

    Generally, the CPU heat dissipation conditions of desktops are relatively good, and the temperature is not too high.

    Even if the computer is shut down normally, it will not wait for the CPU and graphics card temperature to cool down before the fan stops. 60 degrees is not a high temperature for a chip, and it has little effect, and high temperature will seriously shorten the life of electrolytic capacitors.

    3. The most harmful is the hard disk, which is running thousands of times per minute, and suddenly stops when the power is cut off, and the hard disk will indeed damage the hard disk if it stops more times, while the graphics card motherboard and CPU will be smaller.

    To sum up, the occasional damage is not large, mainly to the hard disk, and bad sectors may occur.

    。。Sudden power failure accidents will have an impact on the computer of the mechanical hard disk, that is, it is easy to cause damage to the system and application data on the hard disk, and it is very rare to damage the graphics card, motherboard, and CPU components. For computers equipped with SSD hard disks, it is rare to be affected by this damage.

    The situation you mentioned should be caused by the voltage of the welding machine in the process of use. It will break the motherboard, but it won't break the motherboard often, and it is estimated that your power supply is not too good.

    High and low voltage often breaks the hard drive.

    It is recommended that you add UPS or voltage regulators.

    A power outage should not cause the motherboard to burn out, but it is possible that the voltage is unstable and fluctuates greatly, and the key is to have a good power supply to provide a safe, reliable and stable output voltage.

    Generally speaking, there is no impact, the main thing is that the sudden power failure will make the head of the hard disk too late to return to the starting position, which may cause damage to the disk surface of the hard disk, easy to produce bad sectors, and other aspects should have no impact, but the current hard disk protection measures are very good, and this situation is not easy to appear, unless it is a phenomenon that cannot enter the system normally after a sudden power failure or boot blue screen or something.

    It is possible to lose unsaved data, and many software will write data to memory when it runs, and save it to a file when it exits. If you don't shut down the computer through the normal steps, it will lead to the program can not exit normally and lose data, so it may cause some unexpected errors due to the loss of important data, which is harmful to the system. It is likely that the instantaneous current will cause the CPU, motherboard, monitor, etc. to burn.

    The main effects are as follows:

    1. The disk surface of the hard disk is damaged, or even scrapped;

    2. Loss of documents;

    3. The system is paralyzed.

    Four: It will have a large inrush current on the host, which will have an impact on the life of the host!

    Five: There is nothing on the desktop, and it takes a long time for the desktop icon to appear and there may be a blue screen.

    Not much, the most power outages are the hard drive damage, not the graphics card and CPU

    Only if there is a problem with the power supply, a sudden increase in current or something, will the CPU graphics card be endangered.

    Of course, the world is impermanent, maybe one day a flying saucer flies over your head and causes the computer to lose power, and then burns the CPU graphics card or something?

    It has the following destructiveness:

    1. Hurt the hard disk, this is the most important thing, because of the sudden forced shutdown, the hard disk head can not be reset, the next time you turn on the re-seeking, it is easy to damage the hard disk repeatedly;

    2. Ongoing operations and unsaved data will be lost, sometimes causing the system to be abnormal;

    3. It is easy to generate high-voltage arc inside the chassis equipment and burn the equipment.

    It doesn't matter, the biggest damage is probably the hard drive, the head not landing safely.

    The sudden power failure of the system caused the hardware damage is undoubted! In particular, the damage to the hard drive is prominent. Because the hard disk is often in high-speed rotation at startup, the general normal shutdown, first of all, is to make the bald head of the hard disk home, and then the whole machine is powered off, if the power is suddenly cut off when booting, the bald head of the hard disk is likely to contact with the surface of the disk in the hard disk because it has not yet been homed, resulting in scratches and bad sectors!

    Secondly, the rest of the hardware is due to a sudden power failure, and the electromagnetic current, which is generally abruptly stopped during the power outage, will damage the electronic hardware! So it will also cause damage to its large electronic hardware! However, today's motherboard graphics cards will be designed with power-off protection measures at the time of design, so there are not many chances of problems!

    The last thing to talk about is that the biggest damage caused by power failure is the software, due to the abnormal stop of the system, the running software will be damaged (including the hardware driver)!

    Hello! The electrostatic current generated by a sudden power outage can break down the components of the hardware, especially the capacitors, causing hardware damage and rendering the computer unusable.

    It is also possible to damage system files or files that are running or running, causing the system to fail to boot or the software to fail.
