So right after beating ME3 on my dektop PC.

My Computer started to make this strange high pitch sound, almost like a scream. Followed by a loud pop noise, no more of a bang. There was a little smoke.  I looked down inside my case as fast as I could but it was all ready to late, my baby was dead.

Bioware your game killed my PC You owe me a new one!

Were you still ingame when it happened? If so, you should've looked at the specifications first. 

ALWAYS check if your PC can handle it. If it is above minimum requirements, you should be fine. Though it's better to look at the recommened requirements. If you aren't sure, ask your friend(s) or ask on a forum if your PC can handle the game.

If you just closed ME3, it is probably nothing more than a coincident. Perhaps your hardware was simply outdated and died.

Either way, BioWare isn't responsible for the destruction of your PC. It's your own fault for not paying attention.

Edit:
And, as the user below me pointed out, software IS NOT capable of damaging hardware, unless the software mentioned is way too heavy for the hardware to run.

ME3 did not damage your computer... no *standard software can cause physical damage to your computer unless your computer cannot handle the software. If that is the case, its not the softwares fault, its the users fault for not paying attention to the requirements.

*Standard being non-malicious

Corsair 1200w in the Silver-stone FT02 case. Both of my 580s are on aftermarket 3 fan GPU coolers, and my CPU is on a Corsair H80 Liquid cooling. The ram is Also Corsair, MB is the EVGA Z68 FTW. I clean our the chassis filters weekly. But none of this matters if you did not get the hidden joke in this thread :)

My robot slave stopped working at the same time. BioWare, who's going to pay for this?

If there is a hidden joke in the thread, then I think you hid it too well.

Aren't GTX 580s notorious for overheating in SLI ? I'm assuming there what the pop came from, if they are then hopefully the rest of your PC is *OK* but with the fact you have a PC THAT beefed up suggests that money isn't an issue...just cooling it is ?
