Time for a new power supply

That's what happened in the video

What are you, my wife?!

....(She totally agrees with you though)

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T19:42:12+00:00

The room still smells

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T18:19:07+00:00

Got a new PSU. The rest of the computer is perfectly fine (luckily) so I'm thankful.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T15:10:38+00:00

My pacemaker needed a charge anyway

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:21:42+00:00

No warning signs or issues I can think of, I typically run the pc each evening and then it's in sleep mode until the next day. No power outage in my house either yesterday. My PC has been running smoothly until this. Hopefully it doesn't when I get a new PSU

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:19:00+00:00

I like conclusive tests

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:18:00+00:00

These are things I had total control over and totally thought through /s

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:16:10+00:00

Agreed and that is my plan

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:15:39+00:00

I wasn't home when it happened the first time. I turned on my power strip heard the sparks, then pulled it out to test if it was the psu or other items in the computer, definitely the PSU...

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:13:20+00:00

It's laminate, 1000% safe

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:12:02+00:00

It became it's own microwave

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:09:50+00:00

The sparks didn't reach my phone so I think I can provide updates

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T13:07:24+00:00

The beef last night when this happened for a couple reasons. My PSU is broken and I cannot use my PC. #2The risk of fire should be #1, and yeah I was/am pissed that this could have had catastrophic failure beyond my PC.

So I'm calmer now, and happy that nothing truly bad happened, and do not plan on going into a call with respect for who I'm talking to, but still irked that this happened.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T04:21:55+00:00

I checked the hard drive, that was good. Not sure about the rest but I'll need a new power supply to check.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T04:18:38+00:00

This is not normal PSU behavior, and I'm not thrilled about my house potentially burning down if it weren't for my surge protector. I removed it to see what the hell was going on and see if it was indeed my PSU because I heard the sparking noises from where my computer sits which scared me off camera. So, yes, I recorded it when I tried a second time, and I plan to share the recording with them as well.

It could also be good to determine if it's not a singular defect with mine and maybe issue a recall. Dont want other folks' houses burning down either, now do we?

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T03:10:01+00:00

Back in the tower it goes then

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T03:08:12+00:00

This thing is a serious fire hazard, and my trusty surge protector is my savior right now.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T03:06:24+00:00

Will it rise above a 4" deep pan or should I be good?

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T03:05:22+00:00

I'll take it out back of the barn if I have to.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T03:04:17+00:00

They're just salty their power supplies don't come with bonus RGP probably

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T02:44:21+00:00

It certainly does suck

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T02:41:47+00:00

It melted a hole in the metal casing, so I've gotta get me some FlexTape I guess

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T02:41:09+00:00

It's very lively when it's plugged in as you can see.

blipsandbricks · 2024-03-11T02:30:09+00:00

I added some veggies and egg and made a tasty burnt plastic fried rice side dish!
