^What color was the cable that you used from your PC Power Supply.?

Yellow or Red and Black for negative.?

CAN you POST a Picture of what your power supply looks like.?

My condolences.
Next time, I suggest you practice on something cheaper like the PHR-sled.
Then when you know what you're doing, start handling the more expensive diodes.

Hey I have a 445nm diode lying around doing nothing because I am waiting on some
gear to practice with first....

Now I wait the E3/E2 laser 100mW violet.
I wait 4 months. I have another violet laser 180mW and this diode I destroy it.
God why? I never again take parts of laser. I take only from Wicked lasers.
I need money now to take the S3 laser.

I am not sure I understand that, but I assume it means "Purchase it again" ,

What's wrong with the old diode and driver?

How do you know it's dead?

Try powering a test-load with your driver. Also, try powering a diode with a driver made with LM317. It's very simple to make and it will show you if diode is alive or not.

No videos I can remember right now :(

Can you read an electronic schematic?

I can show you the schematic, which shows you how to build the driver with LM317:
