I don't know if it was my motherboard or PSU which caused the issue, but I could fully run my computer while the wires were melted and whatnot.
I purchased another PSU, but I'm worried that it it could possibly happen again. I've checked the wires while playing games and they did seem very hot, but I'm not sure if its normal or if I need to fix something.
I've read elsewhere that it could have something to do with my CPU, which is a AMD 6000+ X2, and if so I would like to know how to safely lower the voltage or under clock it to lower the heat that is coming from the connector.
I don't have a camera but it is this kind of connector. The top two things were very melted and the wires leading too them were warped, which caused my PC not to turn on completely unless I moved them.
This older thread also has pictures which sort of look like my problem.
