I'm writing this from my brother's PC, cause mine is.. =|

I was sat at it this morning, when suddenly I heard a loud POP, everything goes off, and a disgusting burnt smell starts to emerge. The pop was so loud, it scared the shit out of me. I thought that must have been a capacitor right away, so opened up my PC. All the caps on the motherboard, video card, sound card etc look fine, so I look in the only other possible place, the Power Supply.

It was a bitch to get it open, had its own stupid screws, but yes, 2 of the capacitors inside the PSU have blown. Pics incoming once I get them off my phone onto this computer ;9

I dunno if the PSU failure has damaged anything else in my PC, and I guess I won't know till I get a new PSU and plunge ahead. This sucks, just before my birthday too (in 4 days). Though that's kind of ironic, it IS my birthday soon, and I AM a poorfag as you all know; I wouldn't complain at any gifts  for my birthday. I have no PC till I can get a new PSU ;__;

The same thing has happened to me before. The motherboard was damaged in the process and I needed a new computer anyway so it forced me into getting one sooner, but still ;9

I actually do have access to money to go out and buy one right now I guess, but this money is from RMRK, and actually will go to the bill for this server (should be getting the bill later today).

That'd be pretty villainous to salvage my own PC at the expensive of RMRK going down, but I can't do that.

And that's assuming when it blew (holy shit it was a loud bang, and my room still stinks of burning electrolyte) it didn't damage my PC ;9

Ok, I stole the PSU from my dad's PC for a little while and apart from some corruption, my PC seems to be ok.

I just need a new PSU =(

I'd love to donate, because I know you'd do the same for me, but Paypal doesn't like working for me.

Good luck with getting your own PSU.

irock you cant have a paypal account till your 18. ITS THE RULES. :D

I can imagine the loud bang i did it to a plasma ball last year i gave it 240volts and its only meant to carry 12. The bang it gave and burning circuit board/toxic gas leak from the chamber made for a great nights sleep dousing the board with water and leaving the thing by an open window. it rattles now so i assume i blew the capacitors off the board :(

A: No I let the dust gather and coagulate on the cpu fan and vents+shell until i get system performance errors or failures like everyone else. I clean cpu fan and vents+shell every 3-4 months or check and see if it is dirty.

Dirt and dust coagulated tends to Retain heat which can burn/fail components that provide capacitance and resistance to electricity and or melt then cross positive and negative components which is what that POP probably was. At least you were around and there for it. Hopefully a circuit breaker is between your comp and the wall or it could of been WORSE. You would be calling smokey the bear for back up.

spell check? btw, roph knowz bout computerz
