I hope your not seriously doing that. Almost all the computers i have ever seen have a switch on the power supply for 120volt and 210volt the 2 most common voltages. 120 for USA and 210 for pretty much everywhere else, but you have to be sure to flip the switch on the back of the powersupply to the correct voltage.

How many times have you fried a computer by doing this? I don't believe it's working out for you, do you? Maybe you should try a different approach, that is, if you want different results. If you do the same thing over and over again, don't expect the result to change. good luck though :-)

In your computer power supply back side there will be one voltage selector for 110Volts. Make sure that you selected it for 240 Volts position and connecting the power. If its in right position make sure that your earth connection is proper and AC socket wirings are in place. If wiring is reverse also may cause such problems.
Check it.. Gud luck

You need 440 volts. Thats why the pc blows up.

Maybe you should go to the store where you bought your PC and explain your problem to one of the people there.They should be able to solve your problem but for right now my advice is don't do it.

I would assume your kidding, but if not, Its probably because the pc is only rated for 110v. plugging it in to anything higher will fry it.
