Hi all,
My pc for the first time decided to suddenly turn itself off, as if the power plug had been pulled. My cpu and gpu temps were fine, so I pinned it on the psu possibly overheating.
I tried to start the pc again, but the power button promted nothing to start, but the bios light on my mobo was still on, so the psu wasn't quite dead.
After waiting a while, I tried starting my pc, only to hear the psu click once.
After another attempt 5 mins later, a slight sign of life, gpu fans etc.
One more go 15 mins later, led to everything powering up, but a strange noise from the psu. Through a vacant modular power pin hole, I could see a bright orage light, i.e an electrical fire. Of course I powered down instantly and didnt try again, I have since removed the psu amid a room full of a burning scent of electronics.
I will admit it had been a while since I had cleaned my psu, but the fan was working and airflow not obscured. So, setting on fire is still a bit strecthed, no?
What are the chances my other components are damaged?
Specs:
PSU: EVGA 1000W Gold
GPU: EVGA 1080TI FTW3
CPU: i7 6700k
Mobo: ASUS Maximus vii
Thanks in advance
