Am I the only one who never wins a drawing? I been truely hoping to get that  power supply being  so limited on income. I have had bad lucky lately with my pc. my own computer the power supply fried but just before that  my ram and geforce 970 card died .Now sharing roommate's pc. Which is an A-10 series  prebuilt pc but the  geforce  750 died..LOL though  Just maybe i can win the 850 supply and  be able to get  my ram replaced sooner..I am the type of person can spent 100 usd on  lottery scratch offs and lose on everyone of them rofl.

    That's unfortunate.  You sure it wasn't the PSU that took half of the house down or were those separate instances?  Regardless, I know the pain of down parts.
     
    For next time, instead of scratch offs, save the funds and you'd have a new PC by now.

    Hey guess you're right haha woke up today and my roommate's  new ram is going again probably  the old clunker of a psu at it's work..well  at least I got my cellphone rofl . welp maybe i can get that 750 in  two months. Finally my roommate grasps it not good to wait  till it fries if you know it is  needing to be replaced cause we could of started saving like 4 months ago.

    If your tight on funds, keep an eye on deal sites like slickdeals.net. I see power supplies deals all the time on it.

    ^_^
    Some years ago I lost a PC to a bad brand new PSU.  It was on sale and looked very cool all red LEDs and named Diablo.  Blew up in less than 5 min taking my MOBO and brand new BFG video card with it.  The MOBO was old so I just purchased a new one and after I told BFG support how the PSU had killed my video card and they send me a brand new one via RMA.
    BFG went out of business, I think they may have gave away to much stuff to stay profitable.  Now days I only buy the most expensive and high quality name brand PSU I can afford at the time.  Good luck with your savings.  :)

    Keep an eye on deal sites like that one, sometimes you can find 80+ gold rated  units under $60.
     
    You can make that much $$ by selling plasma in a month easy.

    Yea sadly I am diabetic so I can't sell plasma.Not where I am plus they only give like 15 bucks .I went to the deal sight said 12 bucks for a supply. till i went to the site selling it and  you had to pay 40 then  get a rebate card later.still good price. Evga..As luck would have it i went to take my cat to a vet who was willing to help  me knowing my finances. Here I had to walk  must of looked pathetic with me and my cane and a bulky cat carrier . By the time I got her there she had passed away.I couldn't believe it. I would of called the vet a liar if i had not watched her take my cat out of her carrier.Get home read messages on my phone which I got before this mess with my pc . So at least when i have a bit of money and if something does happen I at least can order my parts.Best buy only carries PNY and looking up my good motherboard I have stored in it's box  it's not compatible . Pny doesn't seem compatible with many motherboards when you look at their listed compatible  memory . Crossing my fingers though that come next month when  I get money I can get something..lol Patience has never been a gift for me  err talent of mine.

    Sorry to hear about your cat.  I am still recovering from losing my Angelina beagle dog to cancer.  Pets bring a lot of love into their homes.
    That said please do not buy PNY memory from Best Buy at their inflated prices.  NewEgg almost always has some kind of RAM on sale.  And they have a mobile app so you can order from your phone.

    Yea just got my first phone..30 dollars just before recent pc issues.had no choice before.not having access to cell or a pc.finally convince roommate to stop using the pc cause no need to fry more parts.better to be safe i think. At least this is what i think is going on cause graphics fried . Then suddenl memory is on it's way windows saying 8gbs of ram (7.19gb useable) last time i seen that ram fried few days later..the memory is only 2 months old so my only conclusion can. Be is that the psu is sending power spikes.honesty don't care for amd a-10 series as i like to have my own options on graphics.you can use geforce with a10 but radeon would enhace better 4 a10 so annoying as i am a geforce die hard type

    What exact PSU is this?  It's looking like the PSU could be the culprit in your components frying.

    I am the type of person can spent 100 usd on  lottery scratch offs and lose on everyone of them rofl.

    Bad life decisions. We all make our own graves and lie in them. Why in the world would anyone spend $100 on lottery scratch cards? For $100, you could of purchased a PSU on your own.

    Oh you have the same brand PSU that I have been using for the last couple years.  Though mine is a 750 80+Gold with cord management.  Love it.  So sorry if you got a bad one. 
    For games on my phone I play Goddess Kiss and Clash of Clans on android.  Also from time to time I play Nanaca, A Girl Adrift and Ninja Girls.  I think they are kawaii fun time wasters  ^_^

    Ok......now we're getting somewhere.  Maybe it wasn't your components being faulty but caked in dust suffocating them to death.  That completely makes sense now as I'm starting to see the big picture here. lol

    Hang in there, better days are coming. Really they are...
    Do not ever say things can't get any worse, they can.
    Wishing you good luck in the future.
     
    This thread makes me think of this song.
    Maybe it will make you feel just a little bit better. Makes me feel better every time I watch it.

    You are right..my honelessness in my past was not due to not paying for my bills btw..and i would never put anything before rent food an so on. However i know how much i have after my bills are paid..😎😎😎

    It's Not any more polite to cover your mouth when you burp. It's like covering your Butt when you fart !!!

    Am I the only one who never wins a drawing? I been truely hoping to get that  power supply being  so limited on income. I have had bad lucky lately with my pc. my own computer the power supply fried but just before that  my ram and geforce 970 card died .Now sharing roommate's pc. Which is an A-10 series  prebuilt pc but the  geforce  750 died..LOL though  Just maybe i can win the 850 supply and  be able to get  my ram replaced sooner..I am the type of person can spent 100 usd on  lottery scratch offs and lose on everyone of them rofl.


    I feel you. Never won anything online or on a social events.
