Last night I was playing Escape From Tarkov when my PC randomly shut off. Confused by this I tried turning it back on and nothing happened
Unplugged the PSU and plugged it back in and the computers fans spin for about 1 second before turning off again. Tried again to no success.
Last attempt I unplugged the Pins from the GPU but kept it plugged into the motherboard (may have been a bad idea in hindsight). I pressed the power button, the computer ran for about 5-10 seconds before a puff of smoke came from the GPU. Freaked out and immediately turned off the computer and pulled the GPU out of the Mobo (MSI gaming 7[intel]).
My Question is if my 4 year old PSU could have been part of the problem or not? It is a EVGA Super Nova 650W gold rated.
To preface this I had cleaned it just a few weeks prior to the blown GPU. And the Computer Ran fine on integrated graphics.
thanks all who may be able to help me out.
