Solve : Powersupply?

Answer» Hey around december my powersupply went out. it was a 550watt. The way it happend was first my monater went blank and the vid card wasnt getting any power. But the pc itself would still turn on. Eventually it wouldnt even turn on and i took the powersupply out and looked and it had a BIG explosion in it lol. So I just went out and got a 600watt powersupply hooked everything up and it still will not turn on and ive tried so many THINGS and i get nothing any ideas??? :-/Maybe when it "exploded" something else got burned along with the powersupply? Maybe it's not compatible? Maybe it's because the 'wattage' is 50 more.Thats what i think happend to but im trying to have a positive outlook on things cause im very short on the $$$Have you tried looking at the other components of the computer to check if they look ok?Yea i didnt see any thing that looked abnormal its like nothings getting any power.Did it go out while the computer was on? If so, maybe the power cord (if that's what you CALL it) got affected too? Try using another one maybeYea i tried 2 or 3 of em lolQuote Hey around december my powersupply went out. it was a 550watt. :-/ Wattage is nothing if it is an el cheapo power supply. You have tried a neww one and it made no difference, so it sounds like other components (like the MB) were taken down as well. Of course we have to assume that everything is connected correctly and the MB is not shorting out on the case somewhere, etc. Sounds like a new BOARD or a trip to the SHOP are in your future. That really blows i just got this board in fall and i spend alot on it.What make and model of power supply was it? That can tell you a lot. If it came with a no name case, they are meant to explode!
