Well tried it... nothing happened =) could it be that i was trying to turn my pc on earlier with the cpu connection connected that could have anything to do with this?

It would be worth knowing what brand and model the PSU was that blew.

We would have a little more insight as to the odds of possible component damage.

It was a cheap low quality 750W Winpower PSU.

No, lots of ppl do this with no ill effects.

It's more likely the PSU has fried something - maybe the MB, maybe the memory , maybe the CPU - perhaps all 3 :/

Your challange is to try and identify fault - its not always straight forward and ideally you need spare components to test.

Azure, told you to get a new PSU ages ago...I'm always right remember

And like i said, come here and you can test all your components (bar CPU) in my PC

Hey there,

However the CPU spins a tiny bit, then stops for about 5 seconds and tries again and doesn't ever spin properly.... =(

Thats your problem there, the spinning cpu... Its not meant to

But go and test your bits in another system, that way you can rule them out.
