my power supply is dying
 

yeah, it's making a fucking weird buzzing sound... like the fan is fucking up, is it still ok to use my comp or will it fuck up something else if the power supply just dies?
I gotta go change it... but like next week

Next week?!?

Are you high? Shut it down, and go switch it right the fuck now. What's the matter with you?

turn the pc off and get it replaced before turning it on again.

when the power supply goes, it always takes something with it. motherboard, hard drive or something. maybe both.

:1orglaugh
hmm it's 'ok' now, i hit the PS a few times, nice and quiet as before, maye it's full of dust, gonna pass the vaccum cleaner over it.. but for now it's running fine

mine blew up a few weeks ago, dont take your chances..

my advice would be to blow out all the dust in there

gonna do it soon, almost down with a download, altho it doesn't make any sound anymore, but it was fucking driving me crazy this morning

It's the bearings in your fan wearing out. I would go to a computer store and get a new fan (bring the old one in) costs maybe $5 or something. Your powersupply is fine, if the fan stops turning it may not be. I have had a few fans in my powersupplies go. The sound of a shot fan drives you nuts...I used to jam a knife in the back of it in a fit of rage. :mad:

I had a fan seize in one of my servers once, although at the time I didn't know it. Server dies, so I go in to see why. (has to happen at 2am, of course). The whole place is filled with the smell of burnt electronics, and I find the power supply blown up. I got to it at least 30 minutes after it went off the air, and the internal case frame was still almost too hot to touch...

yup I sucked all that shit out of the fan, and it's running fucking great, I can hardly hear it again!

thats usually what happens. the noise goes away and you're like, wtf was that? then poof, you smell something burning and your pc doesn't work. then its time to find out what just got torched.

yeah but read my post where I said it works now

well make sure it was the fan and not the power supply itself

it was the fan

It's not that easy changing the fan on a powersupply, at least not on mine.

I vacuumed all the shit and dust out of there,
