Relax, you still might be able to recover from this catastrophe.
Try unplug the power cord, switch back the red colour switch back to 240V(assuming your power output is at 240V), then wait few min and try to power up again. Chances are the power supply will now work. Usually they have a resettable fuse as protection. If system still doesn't start,then only need to replace the Power supply unit. I don't think the other components are damaged.

could you post pictures of your psu, mobo, condition as it connected? your PSU may not die yet. It just have a protection system which makes it refuse to on back.

If that "red colour" switch as the one at the back of the PSU, then likely was the mains voltage selection switch (for switching between 230VAC and 110VAC). For Malaysia, we are using 230VAC. That other 110VAC is for countries such as USA and Japan. Anyway, was there a loud crack/bang or explosion sound from that PSU? hmm.gif

Can try your luck if that PSU is still under warranty. Just make sure that "red colour" switch is back to its original position, and say that it suddenly failed... tongue.gif

not really sure about PC PSU. but in normal electrical appliances, switch from 240 to 110v may damage the power supply unit but not the main boards.

Fuiyo...lucky didn't explode in your face....but like everyone said, try to put it back to 240V..and also test if your whole PC is dead or not with another PSU.

xigmatek is bad PSU, take this opportunity to change a better PSU like seasonic coolermaster, it isn't expensive, 500W more than enough for your system

Voltage selector. Don't ever set it to 110V in Malaysia.
