Hey guys, so pretty much I was playing Battlefield one. I played for about 4 hours and then my computer just turned off. It wont come back on and Im scarred about it. I know it overheated by just touching it. But I don't know what is wrong with the computer. It won't even make a sound, no beeps or anything. Also none of the the fans are working as well, is it my power supply? Someone pls help me.
 
Solution
That's a very low quality power supply. It's an older model that wasn't really that great when it came out.

For a 750ti and a single CPU, I'd recommend the Seasonic M12ii 520W Bronze. Please note that the bronze is the efficiency rating and is completely unrelated from the overall quality of the unit, which is outstanding quality for the price.

When a power supply fails, it can damage other components if its output voltage becomes unstable. Let's hope your motherboard is not damaged.

I apologize for the wait, it was late at night where I live and I fell asleep.

if you can't find any sign of life whatsoever it's probably the psu.
 


Likely. But without knowing the full system spec, I can't point out which component it is. Some motherboards will not even try to fully power on if they detect harmful temperatures.

@I Love 2Pac, is this a manufactured or home built system? If manufactured, please list the make, model, and any changes to hardware. If home built, please list all components. Be specific. Make sure to list the make and model of the power supply.

Well the fans are not turning at all. Everything is off, but if I plug in my mouse or keyboard they have a light meaning they are powered. The pc wont turn on at all, and everything inside doesn't move. The whole thing felt hot and this is the first time it has ever overheated like this. I don't know if I should replace my psu
