My Seasonic TX-750W tripped breaker or it was halogen bulb in bathroom
PC: Aorus AD27QD
AORUS PRO Z390-PRO GAMING
Aorus 2080 Ti waterforce stock
2x16GB DDR4 GSKILL XMP
9700K STOCK
Seasonic TX-750W TITANIUM PLUS PRIME
Pc was on idle and monitor was on. Other devices like tv,washer off. So not circuit overload. 2 weeks ago something tripped 2 small circuit breakers . All electricity lights and sockets went down .Then.......i go to bathroom and saw that one of 3 halogen bulbs no lightning. So one bulb get burned.
What tripped breaker?
Halogen Bulb or Seasonic psu of my pc?
Like i said pc working normally after that outage.But i am worried about my psu. Thx for helping me. I am not cooled down<lol>.

Sounds like there was likely a power surge from the outside especially since 2 breakers were tripped. If it was anything internally it should have only affected one breaker.

I doubt it was the power supply. Seasonic is like the Cadillac of power supply companies.
If you're in the US, the most that power supply can draw is about 6.5 amps. Wall outlets are 15 or 20 amps.

A halogen bulb is just a slightly more hi-tech incandescent filament bulb. And I've often seen a conventional old style light bulb trip a breaker when it blows. My money is on the halogen bulb being the cause.

A blown halogen light has often tripped the lighting circuit breaker in my house. There is a current surge when the bulb blows which can trip the circuit breaker. However, in the UK we have separate circuit breakers for all the main circuits so a blown ceiling light would not trip the breaker supplying the PC on the ring main.

Of course old-fashioned fuse wire isn't sensitive to that. I remember seeing my elderly parents quite unable to move when the lights suddenly went out. It's a great feature of modern technology, supposedly introduced for safety.
Clearly one should always have a torch (flashlight for Americans) to hand...

I'll just emphasize again that this is almost guaranteed a surge from outside. It was the surge that blew the halogen light.
Unless you have serious electrical wiring problems, there is no way that even a dead short on one circuit should blow a second breaker.

This is true.

No because i call to 4 electricians and they told that if bulb blow it can trip 2 circuit breakers,only one 1. And not neccesary because of surge.

Please clarify this. Are you stating that a blown bulb on one circuit can trip 2 breakers?
