my first question is, am i overloading it? my rig is in my sig and i'm running 3 internal hard drives
and as for when it happened, i was loading up battlefield 3 and all of a sudden i hear three really loud popping noises and my power supply cable is on fire.
another question, three years ago when i first built this system i took the cable that was plugged into it after turning it off and plugged it into my old amd 64 rig which had a 300w psu and that psu exploded similarly to my power cable today, rendering everything in that rig useless except for the hard drive and video card. can anyone explain to me exactly what happened here?
