So I have a low end 750 watt psu and I recently just upgraded from a gtx 285 to a gtx 590. So I was in the middle of playing watchdogs and my system cut out. The PSU gave a horrible smell though there was no noise when the system cut out. I noticed this same smell as I was playing other games, mainly when the sysem was put under load.
Now when I press the power button i can see the fans spin for about half a second and then it is dead. However, the motherboard light remains on. I tried this PSU in another system and I get pretty much the same result. Also I tried Another psu in my system with the motherboard and cpu connectors only plugged in and the system works though this psu is no good as It can never supplyy enough power to a gtx 590.
Is there a way to fix my psu. I had a look inside and every thing seems to be normal. There are no bulging capacitors. I really dont want to part with this PSU as it holds a lot of sentimental value to me. I would Really appreciate it if anyone could help me fix this.
The rest of this system includes
Core i7 3770k cooled by an akasa venom vodoo
8gb corsair vengence ram
Asus p8p67 lga 1155 mobo
point of view gtx 590
1tb western digital caviar blue hdd
