hear hear, my desktop died a few months back and I keep waiting for exactly this to build a new one. it always seems like it's going to be right around the corner but still, no such luck…
- adhesive_wombat 4y agoIf you're short a graphics card, why do you need to build an entirely new desktop? Unless there was a fire, flood or catastrophic PSU failure that took out everything, in which case, Rust In Pieces (and also insurance or warranty?)
- adamrezich 4y agoan ancient power cord that I've had since the first desktop I built—which I loved because it had a female connector on the back of the male connector, so you could plug a tower and monitor into the same outlet—finally bit the dust, the ground snapped off and I'm assuming the whole thing is fried. I'm using my fiancée's laptop in the interim but I was overdue for a whole new PC anyway—the GTX 980 TI wasn't quite cutting it anymore anyway
- Vecr 4y agoCan't you replace the power cord? It's either a standard component, or something that's a very simple electrical repair job to fix.
- adamrezich 4y agoyeah I have many spares, but this seems to have killed at least my PSU, possibly also my motherboard, and I'm not really in the mood to trial-and-error what's broken and what isn't lol
- BenjiWiebe 4y agoIn my experience of being the neighborhood computer fix it guy, there's a really good chance that your motherboard is fine and the PSU is all that's dead. PSU's have a lot of protection circuitry in them.
