[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 900912, member: 243342"] VS, 800W is massive! What are you powering up there? These days, everything needs less power to run - the CPU being the main culprit. I had a 650W blow up in a similar fashion to yours about 7 years ago but replaced it with a cheaper and smaller 350W and that worked fine for ages until I got rid of the PC. My friend runs a couple of media servers at home, which do require big PSUs due to sheer number of controller cards and hard drives he has in there and he had a few blow up as well - seems like a trait of larger PSUs.
