Hi, so basically 2 days ago I upgraded my cpu to an AMD 8 core 4.0Ghz and ever since then the temperature of my graphics card, the GTX 750Ti 2GB has been sky high in the 68-72C range( it hasn't been like this before) and my PC began turning itself off. I tried replacing the cpu cooler to see if it made any difference but it was negligible, so I'm in a game and I hear a loud bang and see a spark of light come from my computer. It now won't turn on so I'm assuming the power supply is dead but I fail to see why it would happen. Did it get too hot or something? Was my power supply possibly not supplying. Enough power to run the entirety of the computers components? Could a lack of power be the reason why it everything got so hot and which fried the psu? I'd like to hear what people think.

Thanks
 
Solution
Sounds pretty much as dead PSU
Replace it, make sure that cpu is compatible with your mobo and that the new PSU can provide enough power. Check the other connections. If you are lucky you might need to change only PSU
