HappyBuddhaman Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 I'll start this one. Valentines Day, 2014. Was having an intermittent issue where my PC (retail purchased) would shut down and restart only when I was using my web browser, was diagnosing that thing for days on end.Got up from my chair and walked away, made it 10 feet when I heard a loud electrical SNAP!! Spun around and saw both my monitors go dark. Paused, then that burnt electronics smell hit me.I think the neighbors heard me yell "Are you effing KIDDING me?!?!?"Power supply fried the mother board. Was so mad I tore that thing apart like a tornado.Which led me to my current build. Tt Andy 1
Tt Andy Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Wow thats crazy man... lucky you were near to turn it off quickly I nearly had a electrical fire last year when i was mining, i had about 15 cards sucking power off a old power strip and the cord was tucked under a rug ( for cable management you know )... Anyway cord got warm the rug got burned, I was lucky to be close because i think any later the rug would have gone up in flames HappyBuddhaman 1
