Graphics card burning (replaced) last night sub woofer done the same.
A few days ago I replaced my PC monitor as my old one was, well old and starting to go.
Plugged my new monitor in and everything seemed fine, I smelt burning and quickly pulled my desktop only to see a tiny flame on my graphics card. It was removed quickly , but it had blew (burning plastic smell).
Last night my sub woofer seems to have suffered the same fate, I smelt the same burning smell and quickly turned everything off and removed the sub.
I have no idea what is causing this the sub was working fine all day and nothing in my desktop was over heating or looks loose.
The sub was connected via main socket and was roughly 5-6 years old.
My graphics card was two years refurbished so god knows how old..
Could it be my PSU? It's 405w and never had a problem with it.
No idea how to check to see if its being pushed beyond its limits but I can't see how it has been of its been working great (it's my only thought to what's causing this)
The other being pure coincidence and it was just there time to go. Although I've never had anything burn like this before if it was starting to go.
I can take detailed pics of inside my desktop if needs be.
My other problem with my new graphics card is in the graphics card section
