Ok, let's get this started. I am an absolute idiot when it comes to self control. I love to switch things on and off, push things and in general, create a mess.
I love my computer, it's good for everything I do..
Recently, I saw this red switch at the back of my PSU, it was to tempting to resist.
As I switched it from 230 to 115 I heard a loud POP with some smoke. I switched it back to 230 in horror and turned my computer on, again a loud POP. So I take my computer and plug it into another wall socket. Yet again, another POP.
So I decided to plug it into a surge protector; this solved the problem of the anonymous POP.
Now.. let's get down to my questions...
My computer is running as smooth as normal, gaming is fine and everything in general works as it would normally.. What were these loud POPs.. I opened up my case and saw no signs of bulging on the motherboard or any signs of hardware error... Is my PC fine? is it possible to come out of such a hard beating with no battle scars or am I just deluded? Thanks if anyone can answer these questions...
