Black Desert Online broke my computer...

Little-BootLittle-Boot Member UncommonPosts: 158
in Black Desert Online
I was playing BDO and there were some players hacking vendors, when nearby some other players clipped through the ground, and I think the combination of these things sent a surge of bad programming through my internet cable, which caused an electrical fire in my computer. Fortunately, I smothered it with a wet flannel.

Obviously I don't want this to happen to my replacement computer. Does anyone know how to prevent it?

    I'm sorry, but this is hilarious.  Your PC just overheated.  It's happend to me before.  My CPU melted on my motherboard awhile back.  lol.

    It is a serious issue, and I wouldn't mind so much if it was the only problem I've had with this game, but even the weight of the initial download broke my computer desk.

    That happened to me when I downloaded ESO back in the day. :(
    Good thing I bought a sturdier desk afterwards, or I'd have been there again too!

    If I didn't think you were trolling, I'd tell you to look into getting a better power supply.  A good surge protector (or better yet, uninterruptible power supply) properly used can keep nearly all power weirdness from reaching your computer--including over your Internet connection.

    That broken, tired computer was going to die no matter what game.
    Are you onto something or just on something?
