Yeah, the PSU is the key information here.

[KNOWALOTBUTSTILNOTALL]

Lives up to its name.

Stole your money, pretending to be a real PSU.

How old is it? It's probably ded and you need a new one. Even so, the PC may be damaged.

Tell us what region you live in, and someone will suggest a decent PSU to buy. (If you're in Europe or Asia, prices and available PSUs will be different)

 

[DSzymborski]

Well, that's terrifying. Horribly cheap group-regulated junk. Not surprising to see it melt down in a PC with a real GPU.

Like a lot of dodgy cheap PSUs sold in Eastern Europe and South Asia, it appears to have a fake 80 Plus badge. The 80 Plus people have nothing about this power supply in their certification database.

A proper PSU is a must, but the question here is whether it's *just* the PSU that died, or whether the garbage PSU took some components with it to its inevitable grave. Would need a real PSU to find that out.

It's too bad that when asked in your last two threads when you were having problems, you ignored all requests for information about the PSU; people suspected a junk one. All you said was "sufficient" PSU. It wasn't. And like most problems, ignoring it didn't make it go away.

This?

That is 420W PSU.
Minimum recommended PSU for Rtx 2070 super is 650W.

 

[KNOWALOTBUTSTILNOTALL]

And now you might need a new GPU.

Picture of this, please?

 

[USAFRet]

foun the issue the psu is FRIED LIKE A CHICKEN

We knew that.
The question is, what else did it take with it?

 

[35below0]

no my said 650

Where did it say that? Because that is the BANDITPOWER XH-490 in the pic.

AND MY GPU CABLES MELTED ON ONE CONNECTOR

That is bad, but if you're lucky it's only the cable that's damaged.

msi mpg a650gf 650w 80 plus gold

That is a much better PSU.

I’ve learned the hard way about cheap power supplies. Once fried ports on a motherboard with a 500 watt “Hercules” psu.

Didn't that one feature in one of JonnyGuru's Death of a Gutless Wonder articles?

Maybe lol. That was probably 15 years ago.
