    my computer died, I woke up this moarnning and tried to turn it on but nothing. I checked all the connections, but still nothing. When I opened it up nothing seemed wrong, then i sniffed it. My computer roasted in it's sleep. I feel like a family member has died.

    What roasted?

    Might be simple but you tried resetting the CMOS and simple stuff like that... tried a different PSU?.. Clean dust out etc etc

    no black outs, i opened the psu and the remains of a blown up capacitor fell out, and no black outs, just a short over a capacitor. I went and baught a new psu, that fixed, thanks for the emotional support.
