Hello everyone!
Apparently, when I tried to turn on my computer last night, my PSU made a loud 'bang' (no smoke, no plastic smell, just a loud bang) and the computer would not turn on. I have tested all other components in my system with a different power supply, and they all seem to be just fine, except for the graphics card since I don't have a PSU with enough PCI-e power cable to test it. My question is: Should I try to hotwire the PSU and see if it still works? Or just RMA the PSU and wait for a different one?
My system specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
MB: Gigabyte AB 350N Gaming (mini ITX)
Ram: 8GB DDR4 (4x2)
GPU: MSI GTX 760 2GB
PSU: SilverStone Technology 450W SFX Form Factor 80 PLUS BRONZE Power Supply (ST45SF-V3)
I built this computer about 3 months ago, on December 1, 2017
