Do any of you know why my PC might have fried 2 power cables (not the supply itself) within a month? Second time she won’t turn on last time it was just the cable, can’t assume that’s the cause right now but it smells like the power supply itself may be bad. I could see one faulty cable but two seems odd

The Internet has been enshittified to the point that searching for this seems obnoxious also I have to search on my phone because obviously my PC won’t turn on lol

Update things are going well that’s the shattered glass side of my case lol

Power supply seems to work

    A lot of people saying the power supply is bad, and they’re probably right. As an extra investment to try and stop this from happening again, you could get a good ups. Maybe something sitting between your power supply and the socket making sure that everything is acceptable will prevent further issues.

    Not entirely sure if this will actually help though, and it can be expensive. Just wanted to throw that out there for you.
