So PSU exploded heard a loud pop and pc shut down, luckily nothing else is damaged but id want to kmow what likely caused it so it doesnt happen again.
Bit of background the PSU was a generic 650w PSU that lasted me almost 5-6years. I just gotten a cheap rx570 a few days back, second hand and GPUZ checks out its a 570, though I still have my doubts cuz I haven't seen a 570 with only a single dvi input so maybe its a problematic or fake card?, for comparison my old video card was a gtx750. I also had my 2ndmonitor connected straight to the psu like usual with my previous setup. 2nd monitor is connected to integrated graphics so i could use it for browsing
So im conflicted what caused the problem

So im conflicted what caused the problem
- Fake gpu?
- New GPU drew too much power compared to previous GPU and Monitor at the same time.
- Problem using GPU and Integrated Graphics at the same time so i could use 2monitors?
