I went to go plug in vga cable when my computer surged and now when i turn it on it start and them stall and a red blinking light apears. I was wondering if the Power supply needs to be replace is a P4 mother board.

I would first check to make sure all the PCI cards are firmly in their slots.

ok i was seting up the computer to my 40 inch samsung and was about to plug it into my ATI 9800 pro 128M and as soon as the metal touch a huge spark and and then pop. Note that the cpu power was off!!!


and when i turn it on all is green and then is seems like the coputer shuts of but I think it is going into an power or surge sett as to not cause damage to computer components. What are our thoghs??
