Unless you see obvious burn marks on the motherboard or the CPU itself, the only way to know is to try and see, because it depends on how the PSU failed. However, no matter what, get a power supply with a bigger VA or Watt rating.
it is v possible that it has taken other componants out aswel, but at the same time you could be lucky. only way to know for sure is testing. the generic psus that normaly come in a case are usally a waste of space. if your on a tight budget they can bridge a gap but if you can you are better going with a brand named one. i hope alls ok with your pc and good luck
thanks dude im pretty sure it was only the power units that went out cause it was the power unit that was givin all da trouble well im gona buy a ne tower soon il tell u wat happens l8a and thanks for the help
