PSU question

had a bad experience with a cheap PSU frying and taking my mobo with it once and now i only use name brand power

Summary: It very well could be - what is the specification of your PSU? - Be sure to include as much details as possible. FYI - These days wattage alone do not tell the whole story with PSUs How To Ask Questi...
