|
 |
So, its 2:30AM, there I am lying in bed trying to fall asleep. Then, just as I remenice on how shitty the day was, I here this deafening POP. I sit up startled, and look over to see my PC simply billowing fucking sparks out of the back.
I run over, and cut the power, and then just sit there for a good 10 minutes, stunned, shocked, and just utterly mind fucked.
I then take a moment to thank the gods that my PC wasn't about 4 inches to the left, else I'm sure my wall posters would be on fookin fire by now.
In 12+ years of owning PCs, I have NEVER had my power supply blow the fuck up.
Needless to say, I didn't get any fuckin sleep last night as I was busy trying to air out the smell of burned plastic/silicon/whathaveyou from my room the entire night, not to mention I was somewhat worried the thing would burst into flames even though I cut the power.
Now, my question to you is, just how do I determine how utterly fucked my 6mo old $2k rig is? I'm guessing I plug in another PSU and pray, then swap components until it works? Or is there a particular diagnostic program I can use?
And before I forget, FUCK YOU ENERMAX. $200 600Watt power supply and it blows out after 6 fucking months, nearly starting a fire, most likely fucking my system to all hell, and scaring me shitless. I don't want their fucking warranty. I don't want a fucking exchange. They can take their fucking product and shove it up their fuckin arse. I'm sending the unit back, along with a BILL of whatever else that fucking supply fucked in my rig. They pay, or I fucking sue, as this is completley unacceptable.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't shooting fucking electrical sparks out the back and onto wall/desk/carpet not conform to SOME safety standard of some sort? I mean FUCK.
So here I am, exam day, with semester break starting in two days, dead fucking tired, with the fate of my system as yet unknown.
FUCK

I would start with just the mainboard connected.
If it still works chances are good the rest is still intact...
really sucks. I had that before, too.
nothing else died... lucky me... :/

Hi,
I've had that "Cannot Find NTLDR", it was my own fault deleted some stuff i shouldn't have.
But yeah the file is something to do with the master boot or the format of your partion, but either way i never got it back. I tired using the Win xp cd and doing a MBR, didn't work, tried copying the file back over, still didn't work, in the end i had to reformat and ended up losing every thing i had on the drive.
Good luck

I have had a cheapass 350W Q-Tec (peak power output that is, it can only generate 160W continuously) in my second system for years, my guess is it will light up like a Christmas tree within a year

Shit... I got a Enermax, only couple of months old too.
I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????
