Burnt Insulation on Fan
Last response: in Systems
Specs:
EPoX -4PDA5+
Intel Celeron D 330 OC 2.9GHz
1.5GB DDR RAM
nVidia GeForce 6200
40GB Maxtor HDD IDE
160GB WD HDD IDE
160GB TOSHIBA HDD SATA
2x IDE DVD ROM
I had just installed the Hard Drive (160GB SATA TOSHIBA) from my old Laptop and when I plugged the computer back in and turned it on, lots of smoke started to come out of the sides. Upon inspection, i found that the insulation on the wires on one of my 80mm fans had melted/burnt. I'm pretty sure that means that the current went too high, but im unsure. Is it because of the new HDD? Please help.
