Is this possible? Been having odd stuttering on games on and off as if pc is struggling yet fps and cpu usage are always low to medium so never made sense. Was just gaming and could hear a crackle noise then a electric smell and so I quickly unplugged pc and monitor and speakers from extension cable with little blue flashes within extension cable sockets (1 meter hyundai 13amp thought they only made cars anyway) the cable stinks of burning and you can't put any plugs into it now as some sort of safety thing has put red blocks into holes where plugs would go to block them off. The cable isn't a top of range but it is branded and ce stamped. Could this faulty cable have been my issue if it wasn't feeding computer the electric it needed as I've never had a extension cable pack up on me like this with the buzzing crackle and blue flashes when removing plugs quickly.
Pc is running on 750w psu. Amd 9590. Evga gtx 779 4gb. Corsair h100i.16gb ram. 2x hdd 1x ssd
Harmon kardon 2.1 speakers
Benq 27 inch led
Extension cable was a 4 plug 1 meter 13amp 250v not coiled or looped. Now dead.
Everything turned on fine as was worried I'd blown my equipment. will need to get another extension cable now but could this faulty cable have been starving My pc and should I just now run pc direct from wall socket and other items on extension cable from other socket?
Also any good pc extension cables with a bit of durability and safety cut offs ?
