Hello!
I just bought a silverstone st50f-es yesterday and it seems like it was damaged..i replaced it with my old psu..the moment i turned the pc on it smelled burnt so then i quickly shut it down...then i tested it again with the older psu the pc turned on and my mobo seems like it's still ok though there where no response with the monitor..i tried using my older pc with the monitor and then there is a response...do you think i needed to change the mobo?before the incident i checked everything first if the cables where plugged right and i am 100% sure that i had no mistakes in the psu being not able to properly installed in the components...and before i replace my psu my pc was still running..
what scares me is that maybe the other parts are also damaged...that will be a big problem with me...
oh and by the way here's my specs...
intel core i3 540
asus p7h55m-lx mobo
2x 4gb 1333mhz kingston
1tb hitachi
gtx 550 ti
1x dvd rw
4 cha fans
and if i need to replace my processor and the board i'm planning to replace it with amd chipset so that my budget for the i5 won't be much affected because i also plan to build an i7 or an i5 just didn't have enough budget for now...and i need to replace the i3 asap because i'm now using a low tech pc...just lucky that it was still running..hahaha!!
thanks in advance guys!!
