		<description>Help!!!, i just bought a super pc with these components:

M/B: MSI P4N SLI-FI
Processor: Pentium D 830 Dual Core 3.0 Ghz
2 Ghz (2 x 1 Gb) Ram DDR2 667 Mhz Corsair
Graphics card: eVGA eGeForce 7900 Gtx 512mb
Hard Drive: WD sata 250Gb 16mb buffer
and a Thermaltake Armor Full tower chassis.

So here´s the problem: for this enormous pc i got a 800w Agiler Power supply and when i was running Age of Empires III in full graphics it just turned off!!!. the pc won´t start again. Not really convinced of what it was i bought the same PSU and it turns out that failed again, my pc doesn´t turn on and now i have 2 burnt PSU, so the question is: ¿how can i fix this?????</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been mostly pleased with my iGo adapter that will charge my laptop and cellphone (or camera) simultaneously.  They sell &quot;tips&quot; for most common devices, so it is a matter of selecting the right size from the guide.  When I travel I only have to carry one power adapter since it AC/DC and works 110 - 240. 

With regards to your tip #1, I&#039;ve found that silver colored Sharpie&#039;s work well for writing on the black plastic of the power adapter.  Putting the label on the wire is a very short term solution -- after a few days in a laptop bag and the labels tends to disappear.  These days the first thing I do with a new &quot;wall wart&quot; is label it with the device that it services.</description>
