Hi,

Recently I purchased the GTX 770, it has been working great! Apart from the fact when I started playing "Rust" my PC randomly shut off and I began to smell burning. Now it wont turn on, when I hit the on button (1/5 times) the LED on the case turns on so I assume the power supply has just burnt out.

I have the Storm Silent LPK19-35 and assumed because it was 700w it would handle the 770 perfectly well. Apparently not, so what i want to know is whether there is a was to test each piece of hardware to see if it's still working and not been fried? Or will it be a case of purchasing a new PSU before I can see whether the rest of my hardware is still intact?


Thanks

Just replace the psu,whatever you try for the rest,

this 700wat for that price with only those connectors is just junk.it doesn't even have enough pcie power connectors,according to that link,to power the card which means you're using a molex->pcie adapter which means that you probably are taking amps from the wrong rail since it has two.

After you get a new psu you can check if the rest is fried.A good choice in the UK is the next...
