Help me with my PSU!

[Arka Bose]

Hi,actually,i built a PC recently but due to some voltage changes in my house,there was a POP/CRACK sound from my PSU while running my PC.
Now I know that my PSU is dead,but will it affect my system further?like the mainboard,the GPU or the CPU etc???

It might have...could have...

The power supply unit in today's modern computer assumes a role probably more critical than any other single component in your system.

A poor PSU can also cause other components to fail in your computer.

The right Brand names = Quality
Some approved Brand names follow...

Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model

Unless you are not into some serious gaming a 650 watt or higher will take care of your needs.

If you are a serious gamer a 750 Watt, or a little higher will be all that you would need.

He's right. It's very hard to say without testing everything out. Crappy PSU's tend to do a lot more damage, but you really don't know until you systematically check the parts out.
