Recently, we built our first (gaming) PC and it actually went fairly well. After all was said and done, the PC seemed to work properly; however, after merely two days of use, it turned off and refused to turn back on. We figured it was probably the PSU (which was the Corsair CX Series 650w 80+ Bronze) and ordered a new one (EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650w 80+ Gold).
With the new PSU we plugged in all the cables and turned it on to test it, but immediately after starting up, the computer began emitting grayish white smoke and making what sounded like a sizzling/crackling noise. It smelled real bad, as you can imagine. That being said, we aren't sure what exactly was the cause of the smoking or where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.
