Hi All,
1080ti
i7
SuperNova Gold PSU
MSI MOBO
Built in Late 2016
I've got a strange one for you.
3 Times over three weeks (I game daily for hours) my PC will randomly shutdown and I'll get a moderate smell of Ozone/Burning/Electricity in the air. I don't suspect overheating as I'm playing R6 Siege at 1080p and I've never had heat issues.
There have been 10's of hours of gaming between shutdowns at least.
The first and third time I had to flip the PSU switch off and on to get the PC to start up again.
The second time the machine just rebooted itself but had the same smell/sudden shut off.
I've ordered a new PSU but I have a 4 year old Gold SuperNova at 750w so I'm not sure thats the issue.
I took these pictures of the only "suspect" spots on my MOBO. The 1R0 ( 1RO ?) Resistor? seems burnt. The second picture is of a similar 1RO and although I can see some "marks" they don't seem nearly as pronounced.
Pics here (I hope the link works)
I've bought a new PSU but I'm fearing its the MOBO and I don't want to damage my other components. If I have to buy a new Mobo it is what it is as this is my main hobby these day. I'll be air canning the dust (Dusty but not awful) today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the help all!
