FUCK IT ALL TO HELL

Dad just called me to say that my computer started smoking and it shut off.  It won't turn on and now I'm fucking pissed off.  

I'm swear I'm thisclose to fucking my credit up and ordering a new fucking computer.

*SCREAMS*

O__O Oh god, what!? Computers can't smoke.. >>;;

Maybe it's too old and the ram was too fast? :/

Sounds like what happened with me and my last PC. I'm still not sure, since I've never taken it in, whether it was bad RAM or the Fan that made my PC overheat to the point that it shut down and never restarted. You might want to take it to get looked at. It might be an easy fix. :x

I just really hope it wasn't the RAM you just bought...

::house calls:: Could be the PSU. They can cause widespread instability issues as they slowly die until... phhhht! Don't worry, they're cheap & usually pretty easy to swap over. Although a new computer would be so shiny!

D: *HUGS* Smoking in the computer is not supposed to happen...ever.

Jiggle the mouse a bit and call tech support (or the person who you already called) in hysterics. They'll know what to do. *hugs*
