My power supply exploded - a giant spark came out of the back, followed by smoke and I had to get it replaced. Also the second one exlpoded.

i have p6t se asus motherboard 1366 with I7 920 2.66 , GTS 250 ang 4 gb ddr3 ram. i build it and for two weeks was working perfectly until my psu exploded. i replaced it and exlpoded again after 2 hours working. pls help me because i dont know what i have to do and i dont want to brake all my components. the first psu was 850 watt and the second one 550watt.
 
Which brand of PSU are we talking here?

I would double check nothing is shorting on your connection inside your PC but more likely it sounds like a surge of electric problem. Are you using a surge protector?
 
That's your problem.

Its was doomed to fail from the start.

Rubbish make.

Buy a corsair, antec or ocz.

a surge protector is a device that stops spikes reaching your electrical equipment you can pick one up from pc shops dont no if ocuk sell them or not
 
winpower make psu's of ultimate fail.

you need a decent 400-500w psu by a reputable manufacturer. ie, seasonic, corsair, tagan, pc&c ect. it will cost you more, but you never skimp on a psu. the golden rule.
