So . . . what makes a hard drive light on fire?
My mom's computer's power supply died, so I replaced it. Fired up the new PSU, and the hard drive lit on fire. It's the exact same wattage, and I made all the same connections. So . . . could the power surge that killed the first PSU have destroyed some voltage regulator or something? Is anything else in the computer salvageable (e.g., RAM, optical drives, the new power supply)?
