I just got a brand new seasonic x650 650 watt gold power supply, plugged it all my system, it run fine for about 20 mins, I was in the middle of browsing and watching youtube , then all of the sudden the computer turns off and i hear a large pop and see a small flash of light. What could have caused this explosion?
It was running fine for twenty minutes, no sounds or smells or anything. Then kaboom. I'm afraid to turn it back on again for fear of frying the other components.
Here are my System specs
i5 4570 @stock frequency
gigabyte z87-d3hp motherboard
gtx 560ti @stock frequency
2 sticks of 4gb ddr3 1600 ram
1 intel 530 series ssd
2 western digital caviar hdd.
As you can see it's well within the load parameters for a gold 650w power supply.Sadly I won't be able to place a claim for warrantly until monday, tomorrow. Any help or insight into this issue will be greatly appreciated.
