CPU Battery got Burnt

[fanssnett]

Guys, a few days ago, my computer's CPU suddenly went on flames while working. MS Word was the only program I used on the day.

1) I never Overclocked it (2-3hrs per day)
2) It never had performance issues!
3) Nothing inside was burnt except the power supply and power cord.
4) Even the PSU cable was intact!
5) I never switched it on after that due to the fear of losing the HDD

System:

Nvidia Get Force Graphics Driver
Zebronics CPU and Power Supply
Gigabyte MotherBoard
2TB HDD
8GB RAM
Intel Quad Core Processor

Also, the screen did not freeze or go black till I shut it down!

OK, the PSU fried....; it happens.

Replace it, go with Corsair, Seasonic, someone you've heard of, not Uncle Bob's Fly-by-Night PSUs, Inc...

Electrical problem most likely

I use a good APC UPS to prevent power fluctuation from killing my PC.

A UPS isn't a replacement for having a non-garbage power supply.

Thanks Guys! I'll try replacing the PSU cable with some better brand.

Zebronics doesn't make CPUs and the PSUs they make are dangerous garbage as you have seen.
