Emachines sucks ass i had a machine exactly like the one in the video and it did the exact same thing only i was not playing with the power button i just tried to turn it on and it just blew up just like that
@btrdangerdan2010 Because I messed up - looking back I should have just uploaded the part where the computer explodes LOL but I just put up the unedited footage
@chompbitefilms Incorrect. It's generally down to poor quality capacitors in the PSU (Power Supply Unit). Replace it with a more reputable one such as an Antec, and it will be fine.
Well, we didn't die LOL but I think you're going to be ok. We got ours from the Salvation Army and it was in a batch that was recalled, so as long as you got it from a actual computer store, you should be fine!
some power supplies can be failures like mine it scared me off like i add some neon light on my pc and i was booting windows then suddenly it stopped my cpu fan i was like "O_O oh shit turn it off turn it off" it happened i was lucky my processor didnt blow up and also when im playing stuff like Youtube and froze up the system so i change the power supply and it worked better than before... has someone had that problem before? :D
is the make of that computer i-e system by any chance, my mate has a computer which is a i-e system and they share a very similar resemblence,could the thealwkwardbrothers either sylvester or his brother get back to me, cheers jamespw22
classic emachine pc- bestec pos ps's plus coupled with him presing butttons bunch of times set the ps on overload. the Bestec ps's are junk and have no overload protection. i bet the power supply took out the motherboard when it died. stay away from e-machines they are crap
It was one of the capacitors that failed. It happens every now and then with older parts. By the look of it as long as it wasnt a power surge your files on your hard drive should be fine. I was working with the rest of the tech people at my school once and we got a printer to repair, we plugged it up and then instantly BOOM. No cameras at the time so no video, did find out though that the fire alarms dont work at the school 0_0
you guys freaked out when that stuff blown up... lol
i dont know how did that happen... maybe its the Power Supply, that happened to me before when i accidentally plugged my Power Supply to 220V and BOOM!!! smokey2... :D
The manufacturer said that it was the power supply and the motherboard or something like that. LOL yes we weren't expecting that at all. It was very scary!
Also, if you hook up everything (e.g. motherboard, video card, sound card, fans, etc.) in the computer the wrong way, then it can explode.
My grandpa warned me of that when I was in 9th grade because, at that time, I tried to upgrade the computer myself (when my uncle and grandpa were going to do it anyway), and I got lost while doing, having trouble finding what connects to what.
At the time, we were upgrading the motherboard, processor, RAM.
I don't know what Simon did to it. It was plugged in and he just began pressing buttons and hitting it. I guess there were some internal wiring problems.
When I called the company, they said that this has happened before. We bought that computer used and it was part of a faulty unit. I know nothing about explosives. I live in Michigan where fireworks that explode are illegal. I should have written down exactly what the company said was wrong with it.
I worked for a company that had 12 Emachen computers same as that. I only ever worked on 4 that did just that, they were compleetly broken even the CD/DVD and Hard drives got blasted. we thot it was the office that they were in untill the 4th one exploded in a difrent office, then a fuew weaks later we were told to go and order new computers as we would be boxing up and returning the old computers back to emachens as they had called them back. Looks like it really scared you.
I just figured out the noise you made. Ready? OH HOOWA! :P Haha that makes me laugh so hard... Lol can you PLEASE just upload the part it exploded in slow-motion?? I would loveeeeeeeeee that. It's hilar. Lol
HAHAHA that made me laugh so hard. Well I guess it wasn't funny but you screamed like a little girl!! Hehe no offense intended. Lol that did look pretty staged. That wasn't staged?? But it did make me laugh... Good luck finding a new computer. Lol I love you guys, you are hilarious. You should make me a video! Lol I'm just kidding. Unless you want to. Lol well good luck.
I have had several people tell me that, but the reason I have the computer in the shot is because I talk about it in my Vblog. I guess we were...lucky (is "lucky" the right word?) to capture this on tape.
if it exploded u must have a damn bomb

It can only explode if there's some explosives in it.
a PSU could but only do a little loud pop and smoke.
Even if wires were wrong still just short it.
Someone put 230v into it only sparks.
