Hey guys, I need some help diagnosing a hardware issue.
Parts list (if needed): https://goo.gl/mDQPW6
OS: Windows 8.1
I made this build around ~2 years ago and I've been having issues with it as of late. The main problematic event was whenever my power supply had a capacitor blow up with smoke coming out if. After opening the case I didn't see any burn marks on the other components and the PSU was the only part that smelled like smoke. I swapped out my PSU with one that is the exact same model and is brand new to see if anything else went wrong.
After turning on the PC, nothing unusual happens until after I login and the desktop loads. All of my desktop icons are stacked in the top-left corner of the screen, and if I tried to move one of them the PC would freeze for a few seconds, shut off instantly, then repeatedly power itself on/off without making it to the BIOS. Could it be an issue with cable management or did the old-PSU take out another component with it?
