So I recently I got some upgraded stuff for my pc, a 9600gt a gig more of ram so now I have two gigs, a cheap tv tuner, and vista. So recently I have been turning my computer off and on again with installing vista, but I couldn't install vista because it was ungodly slow (I think it was either a problem with my chipset drivers or my bios), so I am sticking with XP until I figure it out.

I was playing assassins creed and was looking the other way and all of a sudden my computer was turned off and wouldn't do anything when I pressed the power button.

I am guessing that my power supply blew out, it was two years old and I got it really cheap (the psu and the case for $20 I think), and It was undergoing a lot of stress. If I blew out my power supply what are the chances my motherboard and processor are damaged too? any comments?
