Question Broken pc? I don't really know.

[Pycass]

Soo. Something weird just happened to my pc few hours ago. And I don't even know how to explain what. I don't even know what to google for. A friend of mine told me that the problem might be the power suply
I'm going too tell you what happened. I was just playing league of legends with a friend chatting on discord. Closed league and something didn't feel quite right. I wanted to open task manager and an error opened telling me something about task manager and system 32.I didn't read it all. Restarted my pc thinking that would solve the problem and this happened....(like in the video). Reset and turn on/ off didn't work so I turned my power suply off. Turned it on again and started the pc. Had a scurtcircuit sound and than it didn't turn on at all.
I took out everything to see if something is burned but everything is fine. Turned my pc on again and this is what happened

The weird stuff happened at 36 seconds in.
This never happened to me before. And the only thing out of the ordinary I did was playing league.
Any help please?

Ditch that PSU, that is fire hazzard, there is no single proper review.
Get something like Corsair CX 550 or VS550 (Grey label, there are variants like 600W and etc.)


Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply ($59.89 @ OutletPC)
Total: $59.89

Or better PSU like G3

Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($68.14 @ OutletPC)
Total: $68.14

Just to add, the rule of tumb when buying PSU is to look up how much the Brand does give you the warranty, always recommended 5+ years (also reading some reviews of that specific unit).

Maybe damage was all ready done to your PC? Maybe not.

Is that a PSU brand ? Never heard of this brand before. That's not a very good power supply, in terms of quality and efficiency. NOT recommended for Gaming PCs. 🙄

What's your budget, and where are you located/country ? Try to get some other high quality PSU, if possible. Power supplies are an imperative part of your system that should not be taken lightly. Throwing in a budget PSU could result in poor power efficiency or even a wrecked system.

Don't SKIMP on the PSU,, since this is the MOST important PC component. I can't stress this enough.

Well where I am from that psu is not uncomon same goes for some seasonic psu-s.
Anyways is the PSU 100% the problem?

Even my case is nJoy but it does not have the front panel. Anyways I don't even know if the psu is the problem. A friend sayed so just from what I told him.
Right now my budget is 0 because I don't know for sure the issue. But I can make it be max $100. I'm from Romania. Another super popular psu is from Seasonic.
But if the psu is the problem I'm more than 100% open for suggestions.
sry for being all over the palce.

I can say to you, it may it may not, but that PSU isnt good for what its purpose is, yes for basic office use.

Spoiler: Just an opinion.

Whoever says they are good and not uncommon, dont.
I have opened Xilence PSU last year and posted here, fake transformer, no OCP or other protective stuff, just basic as can it be.
When they are properly reviewed , then its another story.
Ask on Jonnyguru , which is proper PSU review site.

The thing is, with PSU or any other power unit you do load, the voltages DROP, there is 5%-10% of error on PSU's , some tend to lose voltage aka "DROP" some tend to put more voltage as the load occurs.
Some do not have over current protection and they melt themselves, like it happened to older not soo effective transformer system with PSU's for LED or charger.

The issue is, you can try to disconnect one drive, or remove 1 stick of ram to check if that is not the issue, keep the basic components connected, mouse keyboard and monitor, as you cannot check if your GPU is faulty since you dont have intergrated graphics.

Have you tried clearing cmos?

Even though the PSU might not be the 100% cause of your current issue, using that NJOY PSU model is not recommended to power up any gaming PC. Power supplies are an imperative part of your system that should not be taken lightly. Throwing in a budget PSU could result in poor power efficiency or even a wrecked system.

Nope. But I did ceck out the bios. The second I exited it pc did that.

But do change your current power supply unit.
