Have something in your computer ever exploded/started to burn?

Had a nvidia kepler GPU overheat so bad that my screen pixelated with a spectrum of colors.
Fuck nvidias proprietary drivers.

ati all-in-wonder radeon 9800

burned at the connecting molex pins at the upper right. well one pin and the plastic around it was black.

Don't remember the specifics due to other factors, but in like 2006 a transistor in the power supply fucking exploded, and took other components with it. Sent shrapnel flying inside the case.

Once one resistance of the power supply started to burn, lots of smoke but after unplugging the computer it stopped.

The case stink for a couple of weeks and the power supply was completely wrecked and had to be replaced, the rest of the components are working fine.

did you wire that as an esp 12v connector instead of pci-e power connector, or is that some factory defect?

I plugged a gtx 970 in to a powered-on machine for reasons. There were sparks and the 970 died. It was out of warranty too.
Stupid woman

I once turned on my PSU and sparks came out of it, thankfully only the PSU died.

I had a bad power extension cable fry my SSD. There was a spark and moke.

I blew my PSU up by playing with the input voltage switch.

Wasn't me, don't know. Just thought it was appropriate.

My friend had three 970s with brunt VRMs. Technically my first computer did, but that was before I got it (it was a gift).

Other than that, maybe a bad cap or two on the infamous motherboards from more than a decade ago.

Motherboard capacitors popped.
Happened a few weeks apart, I think 3 or 4 of them popped before I replaced the board.
It continued to work the whole time.
Was pretty loud each time, sounded like a gunshot but not that loud.

At least I didn't break the GPU :^)

had a radeon hd4850 and its fan stopped working in the middle of gaming, heatsink was super hot to touch.

Surprisingly the ssd was fine once I scraped the burnt plastic away from the contacts.

I had 2 nvidia 750mb gpu I was running in sli back in the day, and both when the fans died had mosfets that exploded and caught fire.

shit, how did it happened tho?

SATA power connectors are fucking cursed. Never had any set on fire myself but have had two friends had them burning, and all my fire damaged computers i have seen in my old work was due to SATA power connectors and SATA power adapters or splitters.
