Author Topic: Mah PSU Asploded *Fixed*  (Read 1203 times)

EDIT: It turns out it was a bad cable but my dad put in the new PSU as well. It seems that my motherboard might be getting a bit old though. Haven't tested any games yet but the computer seems to be working overall.

Before you make a stupid remark like how I'm posting, I'm on my loving Laptop.

I'm not sure if my PSU is severely damaged but there's something wrong. I was playing Dead Rising 2 with Gamefandan when suddenly my computer just blacked out. I figured it was overheating and opened my computer. Of course I found dust and cleaned it out and I went to start up my computer. I hit the button, nothing happens. Well forget. In order to keep the computer on I have to hold the power cable in a certain fashion to even get my computer barely running. Even then it's not enough and the fan barely spins. It's probably just the cable itself but I might as well put in my 650 watt PSU. I should have done it long ago because my 500 watt PSU doesn't support my power requirements.

Can't do it without my dad though so I'm pretty much stuck without a computer except this laptop for a while.

What are your specs that you're running your 500w on?

can't you guys take a joke at all?

What kind of crude sense of humor finds that funny at all? It's just annoying and not to mention overused.

It just made you look stupid, and it wasn't funny... :\

Yeah, I highly doubt 500w can support all of that plus hard drives, fans, etc.

I'm running a Core i7 2.8 GHz, 6GB of RAM and a GTX460 on 650w and if I add even one more fan or anything it won't boot.

When did it asplode?
