    Anna ordered some new parts for his computer, with total value of 400 euros. Getting them installed in the shop would've costed 20 euros. But no, Anna desided he's a pro, "Yeah, it cant be that hard to install em".

    30minutes later, Anna sits on his chair, cursing heavily, smell of burning plastic is filling his nose.



    Now Anna needs 1000 euros for a goddamn new computer.




    Anna is almost calm. Almost.

    :neutral:

  5. Unplug it and use your nose and your eyes to track down which bit is burnt.

    I am intrigued, and sorry to hear this news.
    What were the new parts that you bought, and was one of them a new power supply unit?

    Yeah, it was.

    New parts were power supply unit, gfx card and more ram. At least the power supply, ram, motherboard and gfx are toast :(
    Luckily all my important files (illegal movies :hehe:) were on my external, so no large file losses.

    Major bummer. #-o :( :cry:

    Hopefully your hard drives will be ok, so you will be able to copy their data off onto new drives. The external drive is a great idea, they are very good investments for occasions such as this.

  12. Nasty! Any idea where you went wrong?
    I had a similar thing happen once - new machine assembled, working fine then burning plastic smoke everywhere. I was VERy lucky it was just a trapped usb cable shorting on the chassis.
    I still did the proverbial brown trousers moment though.
    Hope you can salvage the wreckage
