Was Playing Empryrion last night when the computer suddenly powered off. It was not a proper shutdown, it just turned off. No errors or bluescreen. Nothing in event viewer except for a Kernel power error indicating an unexpected shutdown. Computer did this a few more times. I began to notice that smell of electronics that are starting to cook. No smoke or anything, just that kind of melted plastic smell. Looked inside the case and noticed that the PSU fan was not spinning. I shutdown the computer and this morning pulled it apart. Can't really tell what part was hot because the smell is gone. Right now, the PSU is jumped, sitting on the table and the fan is spinning. Nothing looks melted anywhere. CPU reached 64 degrees during gaming, but that doesn't seem all that hot, so i don't think that's it.
Kind of odd the PSU fan would not spin while in the computer. What could be the cause of this?
EDIT: PSU is Seasonic S12II
