Man I think I blew up my fukking pc . I was plugging in a usb adapter but since it's small it slipped out my hand and fell into the pc because I had no i/o plate on the back of the case. The computer just cut off right then and there. I checked all cables and everything is connected. Pressing the power button doesn't give a response. The mobo light still on though... i don't even feel like troubleshooting this shyt .

Any word on a fix for Watchdogs? I refuse to play any more of this shyt while it's stuttering every few seconds.

Just as I suspected, my power supply went out.

well, at least it wasn't your mobo.
PSU is an easy fix and not too expensive.

don't know how dropping a usb in there would kill it though.

but if it was his mobo, at least he could have replaced it and got an i/o plate

I just shrugged it off like it's highly unlikely that would pose a risk. The usb adapter went out too.

I'm not sure, but I imagine i/o plates might be metal for grounding reasons

Debating on if I should pull the trigger on Titanfall for $30 from Origin. How did brehs enjoy the Walking Dead game?

Bought a new power supply, still doesn't turn on ?
Plugged the old one in and it worked. Plugged it back up fully loaded don't work. i don't know if it's my power or my pc components.

Edit:


It's my video card!!

Plugged in the PCI-E connectors to the video card and when I hit the power button no dice. Take it out and press power no dice but if I unplug or turn off the PSU and then plug it back in the PC turns on as long as the video card isn't connected with the PCI-E connectors. Tried it several times to confirm and that is what causes the PC to not turn on. I reseated everything to make sure it wasn't a short with any other component.

I had a spare Radeon pci-e card laying around and when I plugged that in the PC booted up normally.




Luckily I have an in store warranty on this card so I can return it and swap for something else.
