Title: Computer Help Post by: pskonejott on February 15, 2012, 08:09:23 AM About an hour ago, some loud sparks and loud popping sounds came from my PC. I wasn't able to see clearly which part of the PC it was coming from. It lasted about 3 seconds and now it won't turn on. There was a burning smell and under examination, nothing appears to be burnt. Any help please?

They all monitor and regulate their power input independently, AFAIK, but I'm talking out of my ass. :)Title: Re: Computer Help Post by: pskonejott on February 15, 2012, 08:44:01 AM It's an AZZA Dynamo 850W. I'm hoping to get a replacement since it's within the 2 year warranty. While I didn't intentionally do anything to harm it, should there be some things I shouldn't mention when asking for a replacement?
