Hi there,
I am having a PC setup with following components
1: Gigabyte LGA1151 Intel Z170 2-Way SLI ATX DDR4 Motherboards GA-Z170X-Gaming 7
2: EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W, Power Supply
3: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition
4: Intel Core i5 6600K 3.90 GHz Quad Core Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache
5: Corsair 16 GB RAM
6: NZXT H440 case.
7: Cooler Master CPU cooler.
A few days back, the PC turned off abruptly and didn't start anymore. The motherboard won't power on. Since it was under warranty I got it serviced and the cause was short-circuiting. The technician suggested that I should change my Power Supply unit because this problem can happen again and in worst case can cause board burn.
Now I'm in dilemma if he's a valid point or now. Is there a way I can be sure that it's PSU which caused the issue ? Can there be some other cause which could have caused the short-circuit ?
The PSU which I have is still under warranty but I believe it'd take atleast a month for me to file RMA and receive the replacement. I'm in India bdw and these components were bought in USA.
What shall I do?
