Hey dude.. This happened to me about 2 months ago.

My computer would shut down, By itself.. Well, it would reboot on its own. I started to get curious as to why this was happening, so i installed a temperature monitor.. Then, one day i was installing my new mouse, and noticed that my Powersupply fan was NOT Spinning. So i had my computer shut down, i booted back up .. And it wouldnt load! Here are the many many expensive things i blew:

My harddrive
Network Card
Onboard Video card
A memory Stick

I ended up buying a whole new tower, But i was really really ******. Now i have 2 cooling fans Just a little suggestion: Check your Powersupply often dude..

Acully this one was quite good, i think it was flawed from the day i got it tho, my tower as always ran hot. Im ganna install some more fans tomorrow, the ice melted, but i ended up doing other things today .

I had for a few years running until last year. Not one blackout for at least 3 years. Now who wouldn't be impressed with that?
