Playing D3 online it would stutter horribly when there was much going on... just when you needed it the most. Playing SP sometimes it would get so slow it was like flipping through photos one at a time. They used to play Lore quite a bit, untill they got into some of the online games. RoBlox gets laggy sometimes but not to often. You have to download and install to play it.

Power supply dead, hopefully didn't take anything else with it. I Don't have a spare PS so I could not test it. I ordered a power supply from newegg. If the motherboard is bad too then they may have to do without for a while.

Post by: NUMBERZero on December 24, 2009, 09:28:25 AM: That's exactly what happened to us. My dad thought the PS was dead, but it turned out to be the motherboard.

Post by: -<WillyP>- on December 25, 2009, 02:05:57 PM: A lot of times the power supply craps out and sends a high voltage pulse to the motherboard, frying it. You may or may not see damage on either. Other times the high voltage will take out other components, such as a video card. Sometimes a malfunction of a mother board takes out the power supply. I don't have a spare psu to test it with, but I do have a psu tester which says the psu is bad.
