hey, today i pluged in a fan, it had to wires, not one of those wires u connect to the mobo or the psu and i connected them two wires into a psu wire hole and the computer shut down
i pressed the power button notthing came on
i took out the psu and let it cool off and tried it on another computer and it worked.
ok now i am woried that my psu will die. this is a good psu, it doesnt even get hott. and its from compaq, but it still works like a charm, i am scared of leavin it on for over night, how can i tell a power sluppy is about to die?
i havent had none of those ramdom reboots. but i want to be prepared before this shyt dies. and where can i find a psu for the presario 7360?
their the size of those shuttle psu
thanx
:(
 
English, do you speak it? Or spell it?

Sheesh.

Can you elaborate on "...it had to wires, not one of those wires u connect to the mobo or the psu and i connected them two wires into a psu wire hole..."?

Where exactly did you plug it in?

Sounds to me like he plugged it into one of the molex plugs. I'm not sure how but it's about the only thing that makes sense.
 
ok u know those powersluppy cables that u connect to the hard drive and the cd rom, u know they have those 4 little holes in there?
yeh, i put the two wires in there but in different places!

Short = power supply doesn't turn on. Please don't just stick random things into random holes! :p
 
Is this one of those fans with a wierd connector on it? Like a tiny little 2-pin connector?
 
How you'd get a smaller keyed fan connecter into a molex connecter is beyond me, it probably wouldnt fit.

Standard 4 pin molex connecters are also keyed, unless you pulled the individual wire out, and then reverse them for some odd crazy ass reason.

So..Unless you're re-wiring the fan has a short, or you .... i have no idea.
