Phsssst, bang, blue smoke and horrid smell - PSU gone!
Hi
When I turned on the PC this morning, there was a phsssst followed by a bang and before I could do anything, the blue smoke had escaped so I knew my computer power supply had just died. The smell of dead or dying equipment was awful.
It was a Thermaltake 550 model PSU rated at 430W and came with the Thermaltake Armor case that I purchased some 2 ½ years ago. I’ve now installed a new Thermaltake Toughpower 600W model and it appears that nothing was fried in the catastrophic event. Phew, a lucky escape!
Cheers
Dennis
