Is this possible than turning on oven make a 1 second power outage in home? ( playing diablo 1 )

[dr222]

Hi.Have an question. It is possible that when turning on oven make a 0,5-1second power spike,without tripping fuse or breaker? I ask because when my mother in kitchen turned on oven,diablo 1 crashed to desktop on my old laptop. Nothing get tripped etc,lights not. So it was coincedence that game crashed in this moment or not?



Laptop not restarted i just saw STEAM icon like always and desktop ,when i back.

Event viewer said that:"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Steam Client"
"the service did not respond to start or control request timeline fashion "



Also i was on balcony in this time.


ps:
Diablo 1 is from GOG not steam.

In which country do you live in?
In a standard german household the oven has -depending on the wiring of the oven- three own breakers. Other electric consumers shouldn't be effected unless there's either a defect, which e.g. shorts a phase to ground, or general bad wiring in that particular flat.
Was that laptop running from a/c or from the battery?

We tried 4 times turning oven when diablo 1 was running. Nothing happened. Also steam was running fine. But steam is only background. Diablo 1 is standalone not from Steam.

In moment when Diablo 1 crashed to desktop event viewer said:"Event viewer said that:"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Steam Client"

"the service did not respond to start or control request timeline fashion ""

Diablo 1 is from GOG not steam.Diablo 1 is playing from standalone files.offline

So it can be related to starting oven or it was coincedence?

Like i said it crashed to desktop,laptop was not turned off.

you just answered the question yourself

Also steam was running fine. But steam is only background. Diablo 1 is standalone not from Steam.

doesn't matter since its not related to the game

In moment when Diablo 1 crashed to desktop event viewer said:"Event viewer said that:"A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Steam Client"

could point on some general hickup in this laptops hardware (that you didn't care to name btw)

...So it can be related to starting oven or it was coincedence?...

cannot be proven from a distance, but most likely: no

Like i said it crashed to desktop,laptop was not turned off.

note: a turned off PC cannot crash to desktop, unless handled totally wrong

so just chillax or if relaxing can't be accepted consider wrapping some alu-foil around your laptop - just to ensure: pics are requiered
