Fried PSU

Yesterday my computer restarted its self twice, but never started up, just reset and idled with nothing happening. Holding the power button doesn’t do a damn thing so i go and pull out the power cord (yes  i know a bad idea), i hear a spark, stop and find the switch on the PSU. Well that spark i head was bad (if you cant tell yet from the picture).

If you follow me on twitter (can also see it on my lifestream page) you probably already know this.

Well after my mom got home from work we went to Best Buy (she wanted to buy her laptop and wanted me to help her pick it out). We also picked up a new PSU and im seem to be all set. The new PSU is better then my old one, has room for expansion.

While as Bestbuy i also met some old friends who i haven’t seen in ages. Both of them working there too.

All in all it was a scary experience but turned out good, and it seems that nothing else was fried either.
