I hate computers

Post by iru »

Well I got home abut an hour ago and booted up my main computer that I play WoW on. The power turned on but the OS wouldn't boot. So I was like "ok" and turned it off and waited a few secconds and tried again. Next thing i knew there were sparks coming from the power supply! HURRAY! So I turned it off quickly and got another one i had in the closet. Put that in there, plugged everything in and now there is power to the mobo but nothing else. Not even the fans will start.

This has happened to the machine before (not booting up) but never has the power supply caught on fire. New experiences = fun. I belive everything is fine I just don't know how to remedy the situation. As i said it hasn't boot up before and when i took it to a pc repair guy they just said it was something to do with the power supply. So if anyone knows the answere TELL ME DAMNIT! kthx

So in summery, I wont be on for a while. I can't play WoW so i may actully do some school work for a change or engage in what is called "social activity" (or sexual :D). Sounds a bit absurd to me but i'm in college and college is about experimentation. :d

Toodles till then.

P.S. I hate life.
