bikr692002 · Dec 23, 2005, 11:02 PM

I was playing battlefield2, it all of a sudden starts shutting down, try to turn it back on, hear crackly sound... fuck.... I open it up, rearrange everything, another crackly noise and now when I press the button 3 times it turns on for like 1/1000th of a second, also, it stopped showing picture on the monitor, it acts like it's not even plugged in... :'(

wtf8269 · Dec 23, 2005, 11:28 PM

bikr692002 · Dec 23, 2005, 11:45 PM

Tell me about it, I almost had a heartattack

wtf8269 · Dec 24, 2005, 12:28 AM

Get an OCZ PowerStream or PC Power & Cooling. You won't regret it. What were the amperages on your old PSU?

bikr692002 · Dec 24, 2005, 12:31 AM

I dunno, I don't know much about power supplys, yeah I was thinking OCZ, are they quiet?

wtf8269 · Dec 24, 2005, 12:37 AM

Yeah, if the thing didn't light up or spin you wouldn't know it was on.

bikr692002 · Dec 24, 2005, 12:40 AM

Ok man, I will definatly look into that.

bikr692002 · Dec 30, 2005, 02:07 PM

PFFFFFT Turns out it wasn't fried, but rather had the wrong voltage settings

Oh well, live and learn then get a better power supply

EDIT: No, it was grounded also...
