Hello fellow forum users! I am a new member with a very large problem. You see my PC shut down while I was away from it. When I returned to find it switched off, I made every attempt to switch it back on. When I eventually did, large plumes of smoke came from the case. I plugged it out and found that all the wiring of the fan had been burned right through, nothing else except the fan wiring. Now that I have replaced the fan the PC switches on, CD drive etc (lights come on) but nothing more. Monitor does not turn on, nothing loads! What can it be. Is it CPU, Motherboard memory! I built this PC myself so it is my pride and joy, but now I do not have skills to fix it. PLEASE HELP people, all knowledege and advice grateously recieved. Many thanks for your help. Big's
