Power Supply Problem

AndySooooN · 23 Jan 2007 at 18:35

Ok just got my power supply today, (650W Antrc True Power Trio). And decided to see if it works by just plugging it in alone with it connected to a fan (motherboard etc isnt here yet) and switched it on. Im guessing that was a bad idea, though i duno why.

Anyway it kinda took out our houses' electricity so had to reset the circuit breaker and it also sparked. But doesnt seem that hot and doesnt really smell.

Any ideas what happened? Also, is it broke? Or is it just the fuse? Can i just buy another fuse?

Thx a lot!

I didnt do anything with the 20 pin connecter at all prior to swtiching it on.

Could it have anything to do with the fact that its plugged into an adapter, which already has lots of other stuff running on it, which in turn is pluged into an extension wire that has another 4 plug adapter coming off it, all going into 1 socket hole?

So like i meant 10 plugs going into 1 socket. I dont suppose that mateters much does it?
