  anyone can think of a reason why my cable poped?

  it was definitely not raining yesterday night..

  could it be due to overusage?

  I guess i am right.... anyway, as long as is 250v. it shouldn't be a problem.... another possibility is the power cord is getting burned out due to overusage. As old saying, humans need to rest so do the machine...

  oic. thanks.

  just another question regarding software..

  i've installed norton internet security 2008, and after installation, my cabal (a mmorpg game) does not run as smoothly due to lag/game closing like when u click the X button of ur internet explorer/computer auto restart (happens even without norton)

  cabal uses x-trap as a anti hacking programme...

  i wonder what can be done ..:(

  power surge from ur power socket. you take the cable, unscrew the plug head, there is a electrical fuse. see if the wire inside got burn out or not if yea,. go to any hradware store, buy the one according to the same amperage, and replace the blowned one. it should be ok

  yes. if u changed a cable and it works, it must be the fuse in the plug of ur old cable.

  Go to yr control panel, system, advanced, start up and recovery, uncheck the automatically restart...
