I replaced a PSU in my PC, and the result is that the new PSU is more reliable; however, the RFI seems to have dramatically increased. The PC is in a building about 100' from the house and 75' from the garage. If I turn my car AM radio on in the garage, the interference is quite noticeable. Same with aa AM radio in the bedroom. Since the PC is already in a metal chassis, what can I do to reduce the interference? Of course, turning off the PC helps a good deal, but the PC needs to be in operation 7/24.Could this difficulty be caused by damage to the chassis? When I bought the chassis, the owner sold it at a low price, since it had been dropped off a table. The frame was slightly bent but easily fixed. A year later I began to suspect that the PSU had also got damaged. Until I put in a new PSU, the RFI problem was not noticeable.
Is it possible that in putting in the new unit that something didn't get grounded properly.
