Or look at the specs for the things so you don't get the wrong power supply unit.
From the way you described it, perhaps there's a short in the cable or something. If messing with the cable caused two separate power supply units plugged into it to burn out... Something's wrong.
The power supply unit was fine, until we plugged the (shorted) cable in. The first time we used it, it was O.K. Something went wrong while plugging it in the second time...and it did that without even turning on the power button.
Dekar's advice is kind of hard to reach considering I don't have a computer, no?
Anyways, video card should finally be around here this week.
