|  Did i just? fry my pc? While i know this is stupid, I noticed one of my fans were disconnected while the system was rebooting, i went to plug in the module cables back together and a short shock went through the connections and the pc shut down. Did i fry my motherboard and psu? how can i tell? |

   | Re: Did i just? One should never plug something in or unplug something while computer is on. Power supply most likely shut off for protection reasons. Why? Does it not turn on now?

| Re: Did i just? Editing, The physical powersupply was dimming and losing power(if that's possible). Once before it went completely out, the machine just flickered off and booted back up, i suspected it being the psu then, now, the ATX is plugged in to the motherboard, a green light comes on, but the power supply isn't turning on. there is a possibility that I fried just the psu and not the mobo? I don't have an extra psu(iam going to buy two more when i get the chance now) but i do have an extra mobo which needs a processor, guess i'm buying both now.

try using a different power supply if you got one or just connect the on cables together in the atx connecor if psu comes on it might be a problem w/ your mobo techPowerUp! :: How do I manually turn on an ATX power supply?

 . Just make sure you have like a CD drive or a fan or something hooked up to it so you can test it.
