a popping sound like electric sparks...

[Daniel Warriner]

Hi guys, I just updated my gpu to a GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5It worked fine for a bit then i heard an electrical popping sound, followed by system shutdown and then was unable to boot the system at all and my motherboard (ASUS M5A99x EVO rev2) was displaying a green rapidly flashing light, but no fans kicked in or any kind of boot started, not even getting to post, just dead apart froom this green light flashing. So I think it's probably my power supply thats blown as i tried an old one to just power up the board and the fan started running but i did not have any way of powering the gpu so i couldn't follow through with the full boot, as my board has no onboard graphics. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

UPDATE: my PSU was 500w corsair btw

Well then buy a new quality PSU and hope that your system is not fried.

There's always a chance of that when a PSU dies, but the only way to be sure is to try another PSU.
