Fire

Hi all, So a low-quality fan in my PC decided to stop spinning and eventually burnt out. With it, it burnt the cable all the way down to the molex connector. What I want to know is why the PC continued to stay on? The PSU is a Thermaltake 750W 80+ Gold so I don't believe the quality is at...

I just got my new computer up and running. But I cannot access the internet. According to this, http://www.tp-link.com/en/article-15587.html, my adaptor, the WN881ND, is plug and play. Does that mean it does not need drivers to work? If so, why isn't it working?
