Bloody typical, I harp on about how nice I think my box is and then it dies on me.

My beautiful $450 Enermax Galaxy 1KW PSU just farted sparks all over the wall. Now I'm using my old Dell laptop, so no Source games for me for the next 10 days

I am beginning to think Sod's law has some scientific basis.

Don't I have an enermax power supply?...

Uh oh...

I guess I should stop sticking pencils into the power supply fan as well...

Well they say that if a component is going to fail, it usually fails in the first month. I'd only had it for about 2 weeks, I was future proofing my box for the higher power capacity the new DX10 cards will require.

Same here. I do it with:
2.4 Ghz Celleron (Gack!)
1 gig Ram (2x 512mb)
Geforce 5500 FX. (256mb)

I also get this error so no worry. And Unconnected, You spelled Regularly wrong. D:

Thanks for pointing that out (I'll edit the post in a sec), I usually use the nice built-in spell checker within Firefox 2.0, but unfortunately when I wrote that post I was using I.E. 6.

By the way, welcome to the forums
