unplug and dont leave alone .whats the model of the psu.

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

If it looks like it is being a bad psu, dont risk it. Buy a new one. What model is it?

WreckedR1234 · Apr 17, 2014

powercool 550w

Get yourself a new PSU, and cross your fingers that nothing else was damaged when your old PSU fried. And, don't by any means run your system (if it is still working) at all until you get a new PSU.

Joseph DeGarmo · Apr 17, 2014

Seasonic, XFX, and Antec are some good brands.

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

Xfx proseries are great. High quality. Wont burn like that one.

legokill101 · Apr 17, 2014

yes belive me you just inviting these kamikazie attacks and one of them WILL get your hardware if enough happen,

WreckedR1234 · Apr 17, 2014

this is the only one as it came with my pc but upgraded it

. And yes i need to run it as i have no other pc in the house. I will only be running it until my new one arrives. What Psu do you recommend? Preferably under 60 pounds or 100 dollars.

legokill101 · Apr 17, 2014

a corsair cx500 xfx pro series 550 or season ml2 520w are all good choices

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

Xfx core edition psu, 550w. In general, you cant go wrong with xfx powersupplies.

WreckedR1234 · Apr 17, 2014

how big a psu do you reccomend

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

For your build, 550w is plenty. 450W might be enough.

WreckedR1234 · Apr 17, 2014

im guessing another powercool would be a bad idea

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

Yea. Try getting one of those mentioned above

cst1992 · Apr 17, 2014

"Put a much worse one in there". LOL.

Get a 550W as the others said, from Corsair, Antec, XFX or Seasonic. You could get a nice Gold one for 100 dollars.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ALYOTTI/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=computers is this ok for my build and will it have enough slots for molex ect

FunkyFeatures · Apr 17, 2014

I personally dont like corsairs low end powersupplies, but yes it will do.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B008O50WKG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1397762147&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165
Its on sale, 60 quid, high quality. I would highly recommend it. And its semi modular

WreckedR1234 :

Buy a new one.

I'd personally get a XFX 550~750W PSU.
