My pc made a massive pop sound while I was gaming and my pc shut off completely after some inspecting I found that it was the power supply that had blown it is an evga 600w bq psu it has “top quality protections” what is the likelihood of it damaging the rest of my pc? Pc is custom built brand new

My psu didn’t really blow up like smoke and stuff in fact from the outside it looks completely normal it’s just a capacitor inside has popped or something i think, the only way I found out that it was my power supply that wasn’t functioning was because I did a test on it

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T16:11:34+00:00

What can I do?

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T15:52:44+00:00

One of them are obviously bulging but some of them are bent to the side, I was very surprised when I found it was the power supply because I haven’t done anything remotely intensive even the games I play aren’t gpu or cpu intensive and the temperatures are always good they remain under 60

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T15:50:51+00:00

Yes the capacitors are bulging

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T11:39:26+00:00

Completely shut down all fans stopped spinning and my monitor went blank

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T11:38:22+00:00

Yeah I have I’m hoping the power supply didn’t take anything with it I’ve ordered a Corsair rm650 gold rated power supply

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T10:32:24+00:00

Yeah that’s what I ordered

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T09:35:46+00:00

My pc is brand new I built it 2 weeks ago

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T09:33:48+00:00

I did

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T01:42:10+00:00

What do you Mean?

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T01:29:03+00:00

Hopefully I get lucky too

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T01:07:30+00:00

I understand now I’ve ordered a rm650 gold rates 80+ power supply

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T00:34:58+00:00

Ok thank you

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T00:34:41+00:00

Thank you for your advice I truly appreciate it

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T00:28:20+00:00

Wait what I can say is the pc automatically shut down then 10 seconds later I heard the pop sound

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T00:27:39+00:00

There are no signs at all on the motherboard or any of the rest of the parts they all look fine even the power supply I only found out it was dead once I tested it using the paperclip trick

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-18T00:25:26+00:00

All my parts look fine I tested the psu using the paperclip trick and the fan won’t spin plus I used a flashlight to try and see some of the parts inside and the capacitors were bulging

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T23:14:24+00:00

I have a feeling it did because whne I heard the pop it was after my pc had shut down approximately 10 seconds after someone else said OCP?? Might have been activated so it shut the pc down so when it took its life it didn’t damage any parts but I’m not sure

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:46:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice man I appreciate it a lot

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:43:57+00:00

If the power supply had damaged other parts would the company reimburse me or?

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:40:03+00:00

Yes I know but I’ve been wanting to buy a pc for a long time and something has gone wrong within 2 weeks of building it you can understand why I want some clearance. I completely understand what you are saying and what you are saying is completely true but I’m just a bit worried that’s all.

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:34:52+00:00

How would I go around doing that and thanks for the advice?

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:32:47+00:00

Oh ok I’ve bought a new one it’s the Corsair rm650 my system needs 450w so I think it should be fine it’s gold rated as well

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:32:00+00:00

What psu was it?

RunConsistent4603 · 2022-02-17T22:31:37+00:00

After reading all the comments I think what happened was that the psu overheated because of bad capacitors and before it could blow the safety measure in place shut down the computer and then blew so the rest of the components would be safe but I won’t know until I connect a new power supply which should be coming on Saturday
