So I have a AMD fx 6100 cpu with stock cooler. I OC it to 4 ghz. SOO I was running prime95 test on my cpu and burn test on gpu (GTX 1060 OC to 2 ghz)... Cpu was hitting 65 C Motherboard components were 60-80 C. It was all fine until I heared pretty loud zapiing noise for 1 sec and PC turned off. I also gave off teribble smell. PC recovered and now Im here asking what went wrong. PSU is Whiteenergy 500W

If I were you, I would return the PSU! You are very lucky that your computer is still functional! This happened to me because I bought a low end PSU, so I had to replace all my parts! Please, get a new PSU, trust me it will cost you much less than having to replace every part of your build!
I recommend that you get any Gold EVGA PSU (500W) and above!

Bad smell means burnt electronics. I never heard of a White energy PSU before. Sounds unreliable and something I would not put in a PC build.
