Okay, So I was playing a round of CSGO on my computer when it suddenly shut down. I just thought the power had went out in my house but it hadn't, the computer just shut down.
The computer restarted itself but I could smell smoke. Worried at this point. Logged back onto the PC which logged back on and started back up at it's usual speed(fast) and then tried some games. Regardless of what settings I put the games on, they still have this strange Image lag and image tearing

Specs include:
Processor: i7 3770k processor
MotherBoard: Asus Z77 sabertooth
GPU: Asus GTX 690 (newly bought about 1 month ago)
PSU: Corsair 800w
Ram: 16GB Corsair vengeance 1600mhz

and then a few HDD and an SSD...

Now, the new GPU I bought was working perfectly up until now and hopefully it isn't damaged but if anyone could give some insight into this, I'd be very grateful!

Thanks,
Christopher

See but the computer actually boots up and works perfectly besides this graphical issue. if you think I should still try the new PSU I will but it's just I don't really know anyone with one so it wouldn't be that quick for me to do.
Thanks for the prompt response
