@bignastyid I tried replugging it again but it still won't boot up : / or maybe my mobo is dead in the first place @computernugget Lol reminds me of the time when I was in Asia and forgot to change the PSU's input conversion to 220v, had a nice mini fireworks show blowing up from the inside of...

For some reason it fitted in without any resistance, my computer case was small and dark to see and I ended up plugging in one of the ATX cords only half of it in with the other half sticking out. Would you recommend buying another PSU just to be safe? Many thanks.

I've been wondering lately. In the PSU I've got the ATX cord splits into 2 ends, I've managed to plugged one of them correctly but I've plugged the other one I've only plug half of it into the socket with the other half of the 2 connector pins sticking out in the air right beside the CPU power...

I haven't went into my BIOS, I assume it's unaffected by the reboot during my computer's start up process.

I just did an test earlier with my experiment PC. I notice if I hard boot the computer(by holding the power button) when the windows logo loading screen is up during the HDD boot up process, the next time it starts up it'll show a message saying something like "computer was shut down improperly...

Sorry I forgot to mention the reason why I was holding down the power button was b/c after my computer crashed and rebooted the monitor display won't work. I wasn't sure what to do so I press and hold onto the power button until it shuts down.

I wun do that again, I just want to check will my computer be ok if I've earlier been holding down the power button the whole time and it "restarted" my computer when it was still booting up(it rebooted before the windows log in screen appeared). I'm most concern about is the reboot when my...

It's not the "turning off" the computer that I'm worried about, but holding the power button for like 20 secs, when the computer finishes shutting down, and still continue to hold onto the button, and for some reason it reboots up, while in the booting phase it reboots again, and then I finally...

Hiya Today I just did some really stupid experiments and now I'm worried if my computer is ok 1) A while I ago after my PC crashed and rebooted, and at the "log in" screen I pressed the power button for about 2 seconds and windows shut down, was what I did could damage or corrupt my PC/HDD...

Hello I have a WD Caviar Black HDD that's responding extremely slowly for some reason, even reformatting installing windows 7 it takes about 4x longer than my WD Caviar Green, do you guys think it's a hardware issue and I should replace my drive? Have anyone experience something simular...
