Hi everyone!
Last night my PSU died horribly - luckily, I had a replacement close to hand, which I installed earlier today.
After switching on my machine, all seemed well - until after a few minutes, I noticed a rather nasty burning smell and heat buildup coming from the new PSU.
Could the initial PSU failure have damaged my motherboard? I fail to see how this could occur with a new PSU unless there's an underlying issue.
System specs are available on request, but I'd like to get a cursory evaluation from anyone with experience of similar scenarios first.
Thanks guys.
