Hi
i recently built a gaming PC and I successfully got into the bios, with all fans and lights working.
Unfortunately I had to leave the pc before the os was installed for a trip but when i came back i had some issue regarding my psu. My pc used evga bronze 600w psu and when i came back to boot it up, nothing happened. I tried turning off the plug at the wall and unplugging the psu from the back of the pc and putting it in again, but i heard a weird crackling noise ( all power was off btw),. So i left it in case i did anymore damage, although i dont remember doing anything in the first place, and so i checked all the motherboard connections which were fine. so the psu does have a warranty but Im just wondering if maybe i missed something out? Also my psu might be insufficient for my build but i am pretty sure its enough.
Here i are my specs which should add up to around 450w.

FX 6300
asus m5a97 evo r2.0
2x4gigs of kingston hyperxblu ram
powercolor turboduo r9 280x
western digital 1tb harddrive
optical drive
zalman z3 plus case

So yeah any help would be really appreciated, Thanks in advance

Ur PSU might be dead i dont think u have the tools to check but the best option for u would be to either return it and get replacement r get a refund and buy a different one. Personally i would get a refund and go for a better PSU.
