hey guys, 1st time posting here and am quite in some distress rn from what happened sunday night... i'll keep it super short;
got a brand new pc prebuilt, all under warranty, in february this year. everything looked fine, used it heavily for these past couple of months without any issues, ran absolutely perfectly.
last sunday, i was playing CoD and it just shutdown basically instantly on me, mid-game, as if a power cut happened yknow, and would not turn on for the life of it.
i press the power button (which usually has a blue light next to it indicating either ssd usage or general power draw i assume??) but absolutely no sign of life... only the RGB on the ram sticks lights up, no fans spin, no posting, 0. the little light next to the power button also didnt light up, it usually instantly does and the pc boots within 6-7 seconds after.
no idea what happened, ive since left it at a professional repair service since i dont have any spare parts at my place so they'd be able to check it out... what i want to ask is, what could've happened? anyone have any ideas?
one more very important thing to note: i DID smell a burning smell (cant really explain it in detail, its weird, but oddly resembles plastic melting or smthn but not quite? very specific smell) a couple of days, maybe 2 weeks prior to this happening, most likely coming from inside the case, not sure where exactly but since the case was near me while gaming i did feel the smell, the case panel was always open slightly.
im just waiting now on what the repairmen say happened but any clues would be of great help, ty guys :*)
