Turn the computer off and then take a box called a power supply out. After that take the cover off it which is held in with some screws don't be afraid to take the "warranty void if removed" stickers off. When it is open put your d**k in it and everything will be well in the world, oh and have a live stream running when you do it so we can all find out what happens!
 
What about you write the time you turned it on, when you turn it on, onto a post it note and stick it on your monitor.(or somewhere else) :)

Can not believe this guy is back :(

Heha. I love this guy. He asks such innocuous questions that seem genuine, but with such a subtle undercurrent of ******** and slightly broken English, it's hilarious.

In answer to the OPs question.....To know, ask me how long your computer has been on. I will tell you now. Here I tell you. It has been on for 3 hour.

Reminds me of this guy who decided to try water cooling for the first time.

"Kramer and other members promoting water cooling- you have a lot to answer...


I decided this weekend to try and quiten my PC by following some other members lead and going down the water cooling road. The fans on my PC were really starting to drive me mad

The first thing that I did was to remove all the fans. The one on the processor and graphics card were no problem but the one in the power unit was a bugger to get out.

The most difficult part was sealing all the ventilitation openings in the PC case with silicon. I also put silicon all around the joints on the PC case. The smell of silicon was dreadful but when my wife complained I told her to be patent as it will be worth it when we have a completely silent PC.

Because I had completely sealed the PC case the only opening near top was the DVD drive. So I opened that and put the small hose I had purchased specially for the job into the DVD drive as far as it would go. With what I can only describe as great excitement and anticipation, I turned on the water. It really is amazing just how long it took before the case was complete full, and boy was it heavy. That didn't really bother me as I didn't intend to be moving the PC anyway.

The big moment had arrived so I called in my wife and mother in law (who was visiting) and I announced "prepare to hear nothing!" and flicked the switch on the socket on the wall.

Before I could even press the power button on front of the PC, with a loud bang, the whole place was plunged into darkness

I knew that it was only the tripswitch so I told my onlookers not to panic and I ran out to the hall to turn the trip switch back on. But can u believe it, it wouldn't stay on. After five attempts I decided to try unplugging the PC and would you believe...yes the trip switch stayed on. My conclusion: the PC must have in some way been causing the problem.

After about an hour of tries I finally decided to abandon the whole idea of water cooling and emptied the water out of the PC, put back in the fans (except the fan in the power unit, I had broken that one getting it out) and tried the pc AGAIN. IT STILL CAUSED THE TRIP SWTICH TO BLOW!

My PC is completely shagged thanks to stupid suggestions that I got on this forum. What the hell am I going to do now. I spent two hours last night with a hair drier inside the PC case and it still trips the switch.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

and couple more follow-ups:

Where you went wrong was this : with this method you need to have a return pipe to ensure a steady flow of nice cool water, as you have found just filling the pc case just isn't enough and will result in rapid overheating!!

Although your method works fine with a pj though, esp those noisy lcd ones...if fact having a fish tank suspended from the roof with the pj dropped inside makes for an intersting talking point , helps to get anamorphic display from a 4:3 panel as well without paying £700 for the anamorphic lens- see avsforums as they did have a few threads on this before they were deleted, too much competiton for the panamorph manufacturers I think, just think what they would do if this info got out!

I don't remember anyone posting about a return pipe and if you don't mind me saying John it's a little bit late telling me about it now

Wrong type of water methinks....

a year to put together your PC, must be good. Does is have more than 128 megs of RAM?

I used ordinary tap water, are u saying I should have used distilled water, but again it's a little late giving me all these useful suggestions now

It had 384mb or RDRAM with an asus motherboard 400mhz FSB and P4 1.4 processor

"I'm sorry. I probably came along too strong there and indeed you are right it is my own responsibility to check these things out before I try them. But as u can imagine I am a little upset and again if anything I said offends I am sorry

I've been working with computers for about seven years and I have built quite a few for friends and myself but with this PC I put a lot of work into it and I was very happy with it and now it seems to be ruined

I just don't understand why it didn't work, I mean what another member, John, said about not having a return pipe to take away the hot water and that caused my PC to overheat actually makes sense but this happened so fast I doubt that the water in the PC could have gotton that hot so quickly to cause overheating.

I don't know what to do now

Conor"


"And the worst of it is that I still haven't told the wife that the PC I spent so much money and time on is shagged.

BTW I won't delete this thread until Kramer sees it. I suppose it wasn't his fault It was a stupid thing to do but it is only fair that he see it since I mentioned his name in the title

I am actually interested that anybody could still think that this is a wind-up. I mean I'm not a total idiot (as some of your unkind replys would suggest) I did wrap the power supply unit in cling film plastic wrap before I filled it with water

Asia which GPU do you have now?

Any joy with the card - I know you've had a fair bit of bad luck with the drivers and Witcher 3 etc
