Hello,
A few days ago I attempted to power on my gaming pc however, it turned on momentarily and then shut itself back off. I decided to leave it alone and fix it later as I had more important things to do. A day later, I came back and realised both my screens refused to turn on and I thought it was the 3 sockets however, others devices still work fine. I immediately thought it was my power supply (Corsair VS550) and decided to smell around. I found that my psu has a faint burning smell however, I am pretty sure it smelt like that when I bought it. What is going on? Why is nothing turning on? I am scared to try and turn both my screens and PC back on just incase it breaks, if not already broken. New power supply?
Specs:
AMD A10-5800K @ 4 GHZ from stock 3.8 (no voltage increase)
8 GB of Team Group 1600 MHZ ram.
Sapphire R7 260X
Gigabyte motherboard
Corsair VS550
WD 1TB HDD
Thanks!
