Luckily I can sure that only the PSU gone without hurting the new ATI 4850 graphics card + my mobo + all 3 HDDs…

Quickly I went to the nearby supplier got a NEW 520W Hiper PSU for the replacement….the old 500W PSU is a cheap £10 product but still last for the past 2 years. The reson of PSU burning is very simple, my PC are almost all ON for 24/7…this is now the time to invest a good PSU (cost me £40 for this Hiper PSU)

Let see how long will this last for then ;)
