I bought my personal office workstation which I used for the past 4 years.
It was a Lenovo M82 ThinkCentre small form factor desktop with Corei5 procie,
4GB of RAM and 500GB of storage.
I customized it for gaming-- I bought a mid-tower casing, increased its
RAM to 12GB, installed my old psu (Thermaltake 530W) and gpu (GTS 450),
and add 2 more 120 cm fans for cooling. I also bought online a cable adapter
to connect the standard 24-pin psu plug to its 14-pin mobo plug since
it had a 240W psu only.
It all run smoothly for the past 2 weeks, but yesterday while just
surfing the net my setup just abruptly shutdown with a small bang.
Upon checking its parts, there were no burnt parts nor smell therein.
I have not used it for a day for now thinking it might bring more
damage to the mobo and other components. Do you think that the incident
just fried the mobo?
Please advise me. Thank you.
