Hi, ive just made a new pc build and i cant turn it on, what happend, well i build it and plug the 2 cables (monitor and case) in to extension cord, when i plug the cable from the extension cord in the wall* my old pc wich was on at time wich is pluged on ups then in 2 the wall*, the ups blow with some strange sound and my old pc stop running, later i just turn it back again, but the extension cord of the new pc was burned, after that ive tried to connect the new pc with the ups and then to plug in 2 the wall* and when i press the 0/1 button on the pc psu, the ups burned and now it doesnt work(my psu is 800w and the ups was 400w), after that ive tryed to turn on the new pc in 2 the wall* directly, the room power switch burned (my house is on old type something like this http:///cv5vk9h) ive repair that, after that ive unplugged the gpu 6+4, the 4+4, and the other power cables i just left the 24pin, got old power stabilizer and interesting thing happend, i plug the new pc in to the stabilizer then plug the stabilizer in the wall* and both psu and stabilizer were on 0 mean turned off and all the lights on my case turned on, i turned the stabilizer on it worked for 1-2mins ok then it started 2 buzz and was afraid it will burn so i turned it off.

wall* = home electricity
my build:
i7 3770k
gigabyte g1 sniper
16gb (4x4) kingston
1tb WD caviar black
asus gtx680 dc2t
cooler master silent pro gold 800w

on psu calculator it says i need around 500w with 90% system load. so my question is what can i do to turn on my new pc and not to burn stuff, the electicity in mine place isnt great , i dont know much about electricity but from 220v i think it runs from 190-220v. so if i need new psu/ups recommend pls, we gonna switch soon the switch table with automatic switch hope that will work better.


ive done a paperclip test now and interesting thing, ive hooked another cooler to the psu, and i plug the psu cable in the wall and the psu cooler and the other cooler spin while the psu is in 0 (off) actualy they spin in both positions 0/1 like there is no difference what does that means?
