If the power supply meets the Intel ATX12V guidlines it should have turned
off and not be damaged. If it's a cheap/generic power supply then all
bets are off. The motherboard should be dead but most likely nothing
else.


okay... i used another PSU that i had... strangely it didn't work...
but then when i used another power cable (from mains to psu) with that
other PSU it worked... the machine ran perfectly, i formatted the HD,
installed windows... everything was fine and perfect... so i came to
the conclusion it was a 5a fuse on that cable that got damaged... till
i decided to test the other PSU with the working mains-psu power cable
('cos it was a good psu)... it didn't work, and not only that, but
when i tried to put back the working psu it didn't work either!...
eventhough i connected it with the working cable... now i'm gonna go
and buy some 5a fuses...

i don't know if this will work... this is strange... but i was
relieved and happy when the computer ran and i was able to run windows
