Blowing up computer!!!

surfin4lifer · 03-31-2003, 08:09 PM

Just thought I'd tell something that happend to me the other day. I"m on my gfs computer btw.

My computer was beinga lil sluggish so I decided to restart it. well half way through restarting it restarted itself and started screaming likea dying emu. Soon after as I was sitting watchin it restart and pungent smell of burning electronics reached my nostrils. Lo and behold my computer had smoke pouring out of it. I opened the side panel and a huge cloud of it came out. turns out my power source fried itself and is a big jumbled mass of burnt electronics. Just thought I'd tell you how great of a day I had, and if this had happend to anyone else before.

Well my old motherboard got fried once.............it didn't smoke as bad as yours but it i smelled that burning scent , and this lead to me getting a new computer.

So all in all it wasn't that bad.

I think my old computer is on the verge of blowing up. It's been acting weird lately. So I hope it does so that I can get a better computer.

LOL! Sorry, My friends and I have had our share of burning electronics parts, but never heard or saw it be that bad. At least power suppies aren't that expensive. Unless of course it crapped some other parts too, that would suck.

Ok... the macs at your school are most likely equivalent to the 133 mhz pentium 1's i have at school.. since those suck that must mean all intel chips suck right?

What do you expect from computers at school? You think kids actually take care of things that belong to the school?

That's like saying, "Then can you come to my school and tell me why all the desks there ****ing suck?" You know, at home your desk is nice and everything but the one's at school have been carved in, written on, etc.

Actually, they weren't that great when they were NEW just two years ago, so don't give me that age crap. I mean...they aren't terrible, they just seem to freeze a lot and that's probably more of the cause of our idiotic computer guy, not the computers...but anyway, I'm not hating on Mac's...these school imac's just piss me off.

I think this thread wasn't meant for bragging...

well, it sounds like you maybe need a new comp, you should try oddcomps.com i got mine from it and i showed it to my friend so he got one too, theres a bit of a pain ordering cuz you have to go thru pay pal ( i dunno why ) but there good comps and pretty cheap from what i saw and bought

surfin4lifer · 04-07-2003, 12:52 PM

boys i'm back online. ordered a new powersupply and everything is working great.

wish I had a digital camera I'd show you the mass off melted electronics that used to be the inside of my old one. It was an interesting night.
