So i installed a new PSU(coolmax 500w) and it worked well for a couple hours. Suddenly as i was playing lfd2 my monitor went black and so did my mouse and keyboard. All just died. I havent been able to get anymof those to work but when i plug things in through the usb ports they power. Ive powered a phone and a turle beach x42 receiver. Idk what im doing wrong or if its the psu. I also have replaced the old original psu and even that doesnt work. Any help would surely be appreciated.

Good chance your PSU may have damaged other components.

Coolmax makes very poor power supplies.
