Last satueday when i was working at the computer store, someone came in with their (self-built) pc. They tell me that it only worked for a fewseconds the first time they turned it but turnes off and never turned on again. So im too lazy to write up a service ticket and it wasnt busy so i told them id take a quick look. So i plug it in, and try to turn it on. A slight fan twitch then nothing. So i open it up, and check it out.
The problem was as follows: i looked at the psu ifrst, cuz thats what i was auapecting. DIABLOTEK!!! And im like hmmm i wonder what wattage. Well it said 1050w!!! And im like lol and upon further inspection the following has happened: this person figured that since it was a 1kw psu it would run 3 hard drives, a gtx480, and a phenom x6. And after spending thousands on parts, they bought this cheapo diablotek. Lol. And so i made them go down to best buy (a block down the road) and they came back with a corsair something and so i stuck it in and it worked.
And upon telling them the psu was fried (psu tester disnt even turn on) they were like oh.
