WIERD PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, here's my story. I got some new fans that i wanted to use with my baybus that i got a while ago. So i put in the wires of my fan into the baybus. I hold both the fan and the bay bus in my hand. I press the power button on my case. It starts up and then i click my switch of the bay bus to test if it worked. The whole computer shut down and wouldnt turn back on for a few minutes. wth?? then i try it again. This time it turns on, then i click the switch again. Seems ok, nothing happens.......................yet. my comp shut down again after about 7 seconds. Wouldnt turn on again. Then i do it a third time. This time it works, but then i accidently touch the baybus to the metal on my case, i see a fricking spark!!!!!!!! my comp then shuts down again. wont turn on again. i wait, turn it back on, then it works i dont touch any metal. all is fine. But then i connect ALL 4 of my fans, and when i flipped the switch of my 3rd baybus switch. My fricking computer shuts down again. it seems like i fried the 3rd switch, so that's dead now. so now i have 3 fans working. Right now im running the same computer. all is working fine cept the 3rd switch.

Ok so my question is, do you guys think i have any problems? like i shorted out something? Rite now my computer is running with no problem at all. everything seems fine. If anything got shorted out or broke, im going to be fscking pissed cause i just got this baby (see sig) like 2 weeks ago.

sounds like the circuit breaker in the PSU activating

check all the solder connections and wires on the baybus for short circuits or contact to the metal frame!

I don't think there's anything weird with what you did except for the fact that you tried testing powered electical units while they are not mounted and worse yet being held in your hand. Fortunately, there is a built in protection on the PSU otherwise you could be shopping for a new one right now. If the system is working fine then there is no problem although in the future you might want to be more prudent when testing electircal units.
