well i was playing on my pc (this morning at 2 XD) and here is the story:
well i was playing on my pc at like....2 in the morning and suddenly it made a sound like a floppy trying to load but it was quieter, then the screen went all crazy and glitchy and thick grey smoke started pouring out the back. i unplugged it immidiately and took it out to the garage and let it sit over night. i wiped all the dust off of the power supply fan, and i plugged it in to see if it just over heated or if the dust heated up and started on fire. well plug in a monitor only and then turn it on, and it makes the same noise that it made when it first started smoking, but this time it didn't smoke. it didn't do anything. but it started up. so that means the power supply is still good right?
i also noticed that it wasn't making the startup beeping sound, but also my monitor was also not working. i have a feeling my motherboard is shot (again) either that or the processor is shot and its affecting everything. or my grafix card is shot and i don't have on board video i guess.
any ideas on how i can find out what piece is messed up?
