So a couple of months ago my PC started to crash at the start of any video game(specifically cyberpunk) after about a year of working fine. Today, I decided to uninstall the drivers and load the original drivers on the cd that came with the box. To my surprise, it worked and Cyberpunk started running like it usually did. However, about a minute after starting it my PC completely shut down and smoke was coming from the case. It seems like the cpu shorted since the only thing that works now are the fans. I know its a broad question but does anyone have any insight on if the cpu is the problem or the graphics card? My original thought was that the graphics card was the culprit but in this case, it seems like it was the cpu(the heatsink over it smells like burnt wire). I would just replace both if I had that kind of cash just lying around. Thanks.
