oh noes, my power supply broked D:

[owly-oop]

SO balh, im on a crappy laptop with nothing to do. My power supply overheated apparently, i had no clue it was ever like this until my pc randomly shut off and i smelt burnt rubber after. One of my wires was melting D:

Only a bit though, it didnt explode or anything. SO now i have to get money to buy a new and better power supply

i wont be on much for a week i think, unless if i can get one today

I like to imagine you said "ohhh this is bad" as you noticed it

 

[drp]

i would hope it didnt take any other components with it.

that sucks, go get a Corsair 1100 beast

Sucks man

I'm still dealing with issues from my power supply exploding a few weeks ago

First my graphics card died on me. Replaced it, but then half the motherboard died right after that. It's like a series of cascading hardware failures

Lucky I didn't lose any data

It didn't, i checked everything last night

I think the problem was that it was only 580W and i have a 260GTX

Yes. I'm afraid of getting a new one of my own sometime soon. I can't upgrade my computer any more now that I'm not working (I don't need any more stress in college right now). I've got a 9800 gtx with a 650w that's... like 2 years old. D: GL getting your computer back up and running.

Should be fine. I have 600w powering a C2Q and a 9800GTX
My friend runs a 9800GTX and an i7 off a 450w power supply :|

My computer has "officially" broken three times. Twice it was my PSU sploding.

GO GO RELIABILITY.

I got a 1200wat. 100% overkill but it was on sale for $200.
