i can sometimes run this all at once

normally if there is not enouigh power the pc will suffer from random shut downs restarts and black screens, they dont normally go bang as they should have a cut out built in incase of overload.

Probably turned away by all the "lol"s and lack of capitals, paragraphs etc.

It depends largely on the PSU. If it's cheap rubbish it could go bang and take out your motherboard or other hardware. Good psus like Enermax/Seasonic will probably just give you too little juice on a certain rail or rails, giving random blue screens and such.
