Back before I knew anything about computers, my grandpa was being a drunk dumbass with my uncle who is also a drunk and a dumbass and they were *** around with the breaker box outside trying to rig up something, basically every single electronic in this house instantly ceased to work, we didn't have anything on a surge protector.. My computer, all the TVs, even the damned microwave..
So I call up to Bestbuy figuring that a PSU probably isn't going to be that expensive and there's a good chance that if I just replace the PSU my computer will function.. I give them the current one I have, the wattage and everything, trying to see if they have a replacement and they tell me they only have something several hundred watts more than what I had in it at the time..
I ask them "could putting a higher rated PSU in my computer fry everything?"
I was told "Yeah, it probably would"
Knowing all that I know now, I really wish I could go back in time and *** slap him over the phone for being so damned stupid.
