my nerds, i call upon thee for help once more. my computer popped yesterday, fortunately i was *literally* ordering a new one when this happened so it doesnt rly matter. but see, i wanted to sell some of the old components, so i need to know what went pop

it popped when i had the case open and the power disconnected, when i plugged the power back in my speakers went THUNK (not unusual), and when i powered up my pc all the lights flashed for a sec and then, nothing,,,

@envgen sounds motherboard related. if its modern-ish the components should have been protected

Follow

@envgen otherwise it's the power supply
