Oh, I can't quit you, babe
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile
I said I can't quit you, babe
I guess I got to put you down for awhile
Said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
Yes, you did, babe, oh

Now there's some Zeppelin I haven't heard in awhile!

Robert Plant had an open affair while he was married with a US teenager while on tour. His son died while he was on tour (effectively ending the affair). Could this be what 'I Can't Quit You Baby' is about?

Can anyone answer my question about my PSU, is this the right way to connect the 8-pin connecter on the PSU the clips are facing the heatsink fan. All I had connected when the PSU went pop was the Motherboard and nothing else. Where I buy one of these front-panel adapters? It would make things a lot easier for me. :) And what do they call the adapter?

That piece is called a front panel quick connector. I've never seen one available separately, only seen them supplied with a motherboard. They do make it easier than trying to connect everything directly to the mobo, but a pair of needle nose makes it easy without the quick connector.

The 8-pin (2+4) connector looks to be seated correctly. It can't go in backwards because the holes are keyed. Without being there to see & hear the pop I've got no idea what it might have been.

Is it safe to connect the Psu to the wall socket?Or is that a bad thing to do?As i said earlier it was was just plugged in to the motherboard nothing else was plugged in.I can,t see any burn marks anywhere.The only thing is that Sata cabal the yellow connector is broken on the connecter that could have touch something on the motherboard.What do you think ?

Wouldn't bother with a block quick connector for the front panel. Can just plug them in normally. Look up a pdf of the owners manual or likely the pinout is printed on the PCB.

Just to test the system your board does have a power button on it. You can use that to test turning on the system.
Is it safe to connect the Psu to the wall socket?Or is that a bad thing to do?
It's hard to say what the pop was and if there is damage to the PC that would make it unsafe to plug in.

Yes i know it is connect those front panal headers.But they are very delicate and if i have to keep on putting them in and out ,that is why i mention the block connecter.What i am saying is just plugging the PSU to the wall socket on its own to see if it is working.I don,t want to try it if it would cause damage or fire or loose power here.
I just thought of something,i have a bug problem every so often i here pops, and wondered if a bug had been zapped.

Do you have any electrical tape or friction tape? Tape up that exposed wire. That orange wire on the SATA plug is 3.3vdc. If that was touching ground (earthed) it could have caused a pop in the PSU.

But would it be safe to try thee PSU in the wall or would it do other damage and end up with no power?And if it has gone i can get another.The fan on the PSU was not spinning.

No, I wouldn't plug it in the wall without first making sure that the exposed bit on the orange wire can't touch ground or the black wire (which is a ground wire) next to it.

The cords in the UK have fuses in them at the wall end, correct? That fuse's job is to make sure you don't set the place on fire or trip the main to your unit. ;)

Now there's some Zeppelin I haven't heard in awhile!

And that's some astounding live performance right there... Sorry, I didn't find the time to actually watch the video the other day. The thing is, when I was younger I didn't quite understood nor liked Led Zeppelin. Now as I'm growing older I'm getting amazed after each album session. Each, damn, time. I'm not even started with live records. I'm saving it for really bad times. ;)

That is correct :)Don,t they have them in the US then they must do it.o_O
I will give it a go later. I want to know if it does work or not. Of course, I don,r know if the motherboard works anyway all the front header cables were connected correctly, the only thing I would like to say I only managed to connect 1 four pin plug to the 12-volt rail connecter. It was only when I took it out of the case I managed to get the other four pins in. I only recently changed the amps in all my plugs to 3amp most were 13amp o_O
That was after I saw here that you should have 3amp.
I just tried it and saw a blue flash and it popped that's the end of that. :(
Of course, i don,t know to whether the Motherboard works

This is a mighty case I remember LGA having one Gaming PC CaseThermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower,Very Large goof case for £10 cool case :)

I have just seen this on F.M.P
Computer to go for small donation (whatever you’d like to offer for my son for the pc) The pic will not come with hard drives and the dvd drive. Everything is working perfectly fine. Specs as follows:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q-PRO CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Graphic card:
Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450, 1Gb GDDR5
Memory: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 (400 MHz) 4x1Gb
Power supply: 800W Corsair I asked him how much he was looking for and said this
*A guy had offered him £25.and said the would pick up at the end of the week.
He promised to collect it at the end of the weekTo be honest, I’m not sure weather it’ll happen, so first come first served*
I was thinking £25 would have been max price i would have offered for it.But it is so big ad bulky to carry and i should think it weighs a ton. o_O If i lived near by i would take it but as all ways on F.M.P it is the other side of London.:(Like the other case on here it is a very impressive case.Even the one without anything in it would br a heavy weight to carry.o_OI did say to the seller i was only interested in the Motherboard and PSU and would pay £18 for them, Needles to say he want do that.:(

And that's some astounding live performance right there... Sorry, I didn't find the time to actually watch the video the other day. The thing is, when I was younger I didn't quite understood nor liked Led Zeppelin. Now as I'm growing older I'm getting amazed after each album session. Each, damn, time. I'm not even started with live records. I'm saving it for really bad times. ;)
Way back in the dark ages in the early 70,s when God was a child :laugh: there was a shop in Oxford street that sold mostly bootlegs.In fact it was the first record shop Richard Branson of Virgin records owned.I got a double bootleg album by Zeppelin called *Live at Blueberry hill*anyway i played it and the quality sounded bad ,so i took it back and told them, needless to say they said don,t buy any bootlegs again which i never did after that.I got it exchanged for this double album by The Mothers Of Invention* – Mother's Day. 1971 Compilation album.Incidentally the Zeppelin album was on blue Vinyl.There first album was a classic debut album i have all ways been in to there harder rock stuff like

To sum it up - all it took for my GA-880GM-UD2H Rev 1.0 to make a FX-4100 work was just upgrading the two BIOS chips - from 8Mb to 16Mb - with a CH341A programmer. Other parts showing up are my trusty HD7870 OC 2GB, a Konig keyboard that came out of the trash as well, a pair of Corsair Dominator RAM sticks (3x2GB - these were designed with 1366/X58 in mind, I am very much sure of that.)... and a 2015 Mustang model car.

I know and am aware the FX-4100 is a total nightmare - but for a free chip that's supposed to be equal to a Phenom X4 (which I very much "Press X to doubt") which came from a literal trash PC (the only thing I saved was the dead mobo as a way to protect the chip from getting bent pins - for those curious - it's a GA-M68MT-S2, and was the donor for the BIOS chips I used on the 880GM-UD2H), it's a win for me in every way possible. FX was pretty much uncharted territory for me (as is Haswell, which I hope to tackle sometime soon) so this was a great opportunity to have fun during Christmas.

They look fine. Should be alright.
Something was it i heard a pop then blue smoke was coming out of it.I know people on here saying it could be the caps.Any way i cut all the conecters of and chucked it.Any way i collected the case the guy was very pleasent and helpful he helped me get it in the bag.I did not take in to account because it was in a box it was that much bigger.I have previously got a PC in the bag with no trouble.See photo of the bag.I just plugged the Psu in sad to say it is dead :(I was hoping it was working.i did not ask the guy if it did work in fact it was only when i asked him if it came with the PSU he said yes ,but i did not think to ask him if it did work.Still £5 is a bargin for the case.:)The way that PSU was cable tied looked very promosing that it would have worked.It just goes to show you should never judge a book by looking at the cover.

Bought this as a backup to my VTX3D R9 280. Technically I guess I now have two GHz cards (R9 280x being a 7970 GHz, and the Gigabyte 7870 2GB I have is a GHz edition card as well) and a 7950 that survived more heatgun sessions than anything I've ever had on hand.

Finally upgraded my mother's machine from a Q9650 to a Tiger Lake mini PC, so I got my old machine back. Decided to take apart the GTX460 in it to give it a good once over. Tidy little card. The blower fan needs a little lubrication, but otherwise seems fine.
