I was streaming a game last night and my computer just shut off. When I started looking at the box everything was super hot. Not just one particular part, everything I touched was radiating heat. I wonder if running a stream was too much for the computer? I have been PC gaming for 20 years with plenty of long sessions and I have built dozes of computers yet I have never seen it where the computer shuts down and is 100% dead after. Usually something spins or happens.
My mother board is a MSI H310M PRO-VH. The processor is an 8th generation i7 and is cooled by a Corsair all-in-one water cooling system. When I ran some early benchmarks it was running around 30 deg C.
I unplugged all the stuff I could such as the hard drives, dvd drive, graphics card (geforce 1080) to try to get some sign of life. With just the power supply plugged in, if I pull out the 24 pin connector and put it back in the mobo, the 'Ez Debug' light blinks once and nothing else happens. A very fast white light that blinks. No fans, no anything else. The MSI web site is broken and I can't get the manual so I have no idea what one white blink means.
This leads me to believe the power supply is dead. I just ordered a new one on Amazon. I just wanted some feedback. This could be a huge pain trying to replace each part once by one until it works again.
Has anyone ever heard of streaming causing a PC to just get fried like this?
Update:
I have a Apevia ATX-WR580W power supply. I just took the computer apart and tried the "paper clip" test on this power supply. Noting happens. Fingers crossed that it's just a power supply.
