I was playing Forza Horizon 3, and then my monitors go black. They just go pitch black. But they were still getting power, so they're fine. Then I look down at my PC. I see smoke or steam (couldn't really tell which one) coming out of the back side panel. I got very frightened at that point. Once the steam stops, I unplug they PC and everything plugged into it. My mic (Blue Snowball Ice) had the red light on to signal it was on and ready to go. That was before I unplugged it. So when everything is unplugged (not power cables), I open it up. There was no physical damage, but my CPU cooler was steaming hot. And that's all I could interpret on the inside. And before someone says, no. I don't have a USB Killer, nor does anyone around me. Any ideas? Also, over the past couple of weeks, my PSU has been making some strange noises, and under load, my GPU was coil whining.
