EMERGENCY PSU EXPLOSION!!

[igloo15]

Not sure what happened but all of sudden my computer wouldn't reboot. So i left it alone then I came back to it like 4 hours later opened the case and pushed the power button all of a sudden huge sparks come from my psu. I quickly shut it off and pulled it out. Luckily it looks like no other parts where effected by the spark I thourghly inspected all the parts and found no defects so Now i need a psu heres my system.

I vote for the Seasonic Super Series, or a Fortron like this one;

Something with stable voltages and Active PFC.

Budget?

Make sure you buy a name-brand psu. That is very important.

jost dont buy a Soyo Raptor, its nice enough and adjustable, but the 12 volt rail is lowww even on my 2 year old setup

You need a quality psu - fortron, ocz, pcpowerandcooling, antec are all good, depending on your budget.

seasonic super silencer series.
