that's not a typo in subject line.

like three months ago I was playing a video game and the video suddenly went out, followed by the sound, and the unmistakable smell of electronics burning. I immediately yanked the cord and after a while, disassembled the thing and checked everything over. there was nothing obviously burnt-out, and I looked at everything I could, including the caps on the power supply (not bulging at least). I put it all together and it's been working fine ever since.

bios shows voltages are all in-line. all fans appear to be spinning. the thing has run without a single issue since. now I'm no hardware elecromechanic, but I do know enough to know that what I'm dealing with doesn't make a lot of sense. it's not like the Terminator where after getting jabbed with a metal spike it magically reroutes to an alternate power source, or is it?


is my computer powered by the souls of the damned?
