Yesterday one of my computers just died - its the one that's normally connected to the internet - my mum was using it and she smelt a burning smell and then it suddenly just turned off - now it just doesn't turn on anymore. Ive got a feeling that it must be the power supply unit but could that also be something else? i heard that sometimes the PSU exploding could affect the motherboard and cpu. We've been using that computer almost 24/7 non-stop - i gotta use it for uni studies and myLot during the day and my mum uses it for movies at night - could a combination of turning it on and off one after the other have contributed to this?

sorry for that but I'm not a expert in this field,but as long as your hard disk is ok you wont loss much.
the most important part in computers I think is hard disk,at lest for me.I got so some many good stuffs in my hard disk,so I just pray may my hard disk keep good for ever!

Oh I don't know what I would do if my computer stopped, I would be devastated, I think I would panic as I am just so addicted to it, lucky you have another one, did you lose all of your data on your original one....that would be devasting...

luckily ive got another computer as well. Ive never lost data except when one time i accidentally formatted without backing up data - took all my mum's tax data with it. Usually nothing ever happens to the hard drive so i just take that out and transfer to another computer.
