Components
Hi all,
I am using a Gigabyte Motherboard hosting a AMD 2400+ processor , the board's SMPS is powered by a 400w off-the-shelf inverter (1.3 A max.)(running on the car battery) . The Computer's VGA output is fed to a VGA-AV converter and then to a 8" LCD-TFT monitor (NecVox)(Accepts only AV input). The monitor is driven directly by the battery . All ports present in a normal desktop are available (USB , Parallel , Serial , Etc..) . My doubts are:
1. A warning on the inverter says " The output is not purely sinusoidal " . Is this cause for worry ?
2. When I start my car with the computer running , will it restart due to the voltage drop that occurs during a start ?
3. I have noticed waves on the monitor display , Is this due to the inverter being on the same line as the monitor or due to the inconsistencies in the refresh rates of the PC , VGA-AV converter and the Monitor ?
4. In reply to the query , I do not want to start the car with the computer but rather the Ignition (the position before start) . The starting , I would like it to be manual given the problems of isolating the computer from the heavy starting currents. I have found the ignition fuse , I intent to put the relay in series with this . Is this alright ?
Thanks for your time
