For the past couple of months I had a problem with my computer. When I played more demanding games sometimes my computer would turn off as if it was lacking power. Sometimes I could play games for hours and nothing would happen but sometimes my computer would turn off at the loading screen of the game. I checked and this was definitely not a temperature problem so I thought that it might have been a bad psu. Yesterday there was a small "explosion", the computer turned off and the psu smells which means that it has burnt out I guess. So my question is why did this happen? Why did my psu die/burn out? I only had it for about 3 years, I used my computer for about 8-10 hours every day. My cpu is an i7-4790K, my gpu is a GTX 770 and my power supply was a Corsair CX750.
In the past I also had a lot of problems with my power supplies and a lot of my power supplies would die/burn out and I never understood why this could be happening.
