Ok so I built a computer about a week and a half ago, and after overcoming many hurdles, I had finally gotten it to work. It was smooth sailing for a full week, until something devastating happened. I was in the middle of watching some Youtube video, and my computer just shut down unexpectedly. I heard an unpleasant noise from the case to my right (the case is on the ground, so I didn't have a view of what happened. So, I have looked through other threads and a lot of them say that I should return and replace the PSU and plug it in somewhere better (my original spot had like, 6 plugs into the same outlet). Whenever I press the power button, the motherboard lights up, fan starts spinning (CPU and Case), GPU lights up. However, this beautiful sight only lasts for a split second, and then everything turns back off. A few seconds later, it will light up for a split second then turn off again. A few seconds later this happens again. This happens over and over until I unplug it. So, I am under the assumption that since these components are lighting up, then they're not broken, and I only have to replace the PSU. Is this assumption correct or are all of my parts screwed? Thanks!
Edit: The model is EVGA 600 B1
 
Solution
Let me start by asking this: What brand of PSU, and what model is it (not just the wattage. i.e. SeaSonic SSR-550RM G550 )
Secondly, what are the rest of your components in this build?

It could have been the PSU that blew. If it did, you may have to replace more than just it.... Knowing what PSU in the detail requested will help determine the potential scope of the damage.
