No clue, did you order it from somewhere?
Is your warranty still good?

A blown transformer or capacitor (not sure which) isn't something that would break during shipping.

Is your warranty still good? No... no warranty any more-- I shipped it back home from NC and got the optional insurance on it from UPS

Yeah sounds like you need to shell out the $20-40 and get a new PSU then.

You don't have any tech friends around do you? Maybe they can help you replace it.

Nah it's still the same issue. You're just hearing the circuits oscillating more clearly.
It shouldn't be too hard replace, if you remember where all the plugs are now. You will have to remove some screws that hold it place.
Only problem I can see is making sure you get the right power supply. Any idea what the specs are?

Ok, now I'm baffled by these new web filters. Apparently common sense is out the window on this. Anal sex with goats is fine, but *** isn't. The term 'son a ***' is used on network TV (cbs, abc, nbc, fox, etc.)
/perplexed
Oh well.

Nah go back a page that link I had up before should suffice. Buying from dell like that is definitely going to be way more expensive. Should only be like $20-$40 at the most.

That can play 14?!
Yep, does so pretty well too, I'm sure once it comes time to go into a town there will be some lag (as I get some levels of lag in towns on my PC, which is easily 4x as powerful as this thing is) but outside the city it runs smooth with a good frame rate.

So while I am replacing parts - it is a 3 yr old PC ..not "old" but old enough~ Any other parts i should check into upgrading at the same time?

You're probably better off just getting a new PC if you're going to upgrade it.

If you're going to upgrade, I'd think about getting a new video card and some more RAM..

TO be honest- I really never use it - I use my laptop for gaming/everyday/anything purposes and the desktop was to be for my niece to game on =D Cuz im the awesome auntie ;)
I guess im wondering do I need a cooling fan (or is that the same thing) or whatever to avoid a crash on the system or you think this is an isolated incident and she would be ok to play barbies - r- us or MLP online

Do you like never play anymore D:
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
