PC loud noise, won't tun on again.

[EvilDozer]

Hi. Yesterday my PC while in full gaming capacity (The Witcher 3) turned off with very loud noise and it won't start again. While turning off i felt electricity touched me through my headset.

I think that the PSU Fried, more exactly the VRM for good since it smelled like burnt plastic.

The PCI Express LEDs from the GPU turn on (red if the cables are out, green otherwise) if the cables are pluged in.

Question. If PSU Fried and * up the voltage, is the CPU fine, If not do I still have warranty?

Specs :

AMD FX 6300 clocked to 4.2, Voltage pumped up a lil. CM Hyper 212 cooler

Asus R9 270X (was OC-ed during gaming, not full capacity)

Gigabyte 970-DS3P

2 sticks of 4GBs

Maxcube Nira 500W (has 6 or more years)

The LEDs I talked about.

1. The PSU is fried

2. Is anything else fried? Completely unknown, until you try it with a working PSU.

I tried another PSU from a friend but it wouldn't start, but I found out later that the power button wasn't connected to the mobo.

Let's say that even If the cable was plugged in and it wouldn't start. Then what? What's burnt and what's not then.

Impossible to predict.
It's probably only the PSU, but you can't know until you get a working one in there.

I'd say the motherboard got fried too...

All are fine except the PSU.
