My pc stopped working when I stepped away from it for five minutes. When I entered the room I smelled a burn coming from the pc and it was off. When I pressed the power button all the lights came on from the motherboard and gpu but turned off not even a second later. When I opened my pc I isolated the smel from the PSU. Keep in mind that the pc isn’t even two months old. I was wondering if my Cooler Masterwatt 550w 80+ bronze certified be reliable enough to have properly working protection. Also what are the chances of my PSU frying orther components? All help is much appreciated, thank you all in advance! specs Motherboard: MSI B350 Tomahawk GPU: MSI GTX 1070ti CPU: Ryzen 5 1600 RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws V series ddr4 3000MHz 8gb (2X 4) PSU: Cooler Masterwatt 550w 80+ bronze certified - Protections (OCP / OVP / UVP / OPP / OTP / SCP) P.S.- I have already ordered a new psu using RMA refund. The new PSU is the Seasonic Focus Gold 550w 80+ gold any thought on if it’s a good PSU with a long lifespan?

Great tip thank you! Just got the response on amazon and they are giving me a full refund for the product. Now I just have to wait and see if the Seasonic Focus 550w 80+ gold turns on the pc. If not then something else got fried which would be my worst nightmare.
-
I tried to jump the PSU itself by connecting the green and black wire with a paperclip and I got no response. I thought this confirmed that the PSU is dead. (or am I wrong I'm not sure I preformed it correctly lol)
-
How can I pin point what the issue was? Are there any signs visually that will hint this?
-
I'm am using the warranty, but instead of having them replace it and deal with there long RMA process (what I read from other owners of the product) I am going to just ask for a refund and buy a better PSU.
-
Thanks for the quick response! Hopefully the PSU does work cause I saved up for this PC for two years and it broke in two months.
-
Yeah, I'm really worried. If the new PSU happens to not work, what is the next component that is prone to damage?
-
So are the protection lables that come with the PSU not protect the PC in case of this kind of fail?
-
Didn't know where the smell came form until I opened up my pc, then I removed it completely.

So yesterday my PSU failed while playing some overwatch and turned off my computer completely. A strange burned plastic smell filled my room which then I located the smell coming from the PSU. When I tried turning it back on, all the lights on the motherboard and GPU lit up but would turn off immediately. The only way to get this response was to switch the PSU off and unplug it and then re-connect and turn it on. My question is if any of the other components in my PC potentially be damaged as well. If it helps my PSU has these protection installed OVP/OPP/OTP/SCP/OCP. Also I am going to buy a Seasonic Focus 550w 80+Gold to replace it. Is this a reliable PSU that will last a long time?

Overcloclocking Help Needed
Slate_Shadow replied to Slate_Shadow's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yes I know how to update the bios and thank you for the clarification! I'll post again if I encounter any new problems. -
I want to overclock my ram to 3000hz which is what my ram should be at. Currently my motherboard tells me that my DDR speed is at 2133hz which is not ideal. I tried to set the A-XMP profile 2 which set my DDR speed to 2933hz which I was excited on how easy it was. When I tried to save changes it did not boot up again and instead my PC stayed on with a black screen. I was scared at this point because I thought I had lost my PC (I had to force turn off my PC). I got it to boot up again and set everything to default (when turning on my PC again after the malfunction my PC turned on and off repeatedly until my bios showed up again). My question now is if I need a different bios update to support higher memory speed? Also I saw on some posts that updating the bios is dangerous which could brick your motherboard even if everything is done correctly, is this true or is this a false statement. I just got my PC and would hate if I broke anything on the first day. Thank you all in advance!

I started the process anyways, I ignored the warning and will hope for the best. Thanks for the recommendation even if it doesn't work.
-
I downloaded the application and clicked on the windows ISO file and This is what it told me. How do I proceed?
-
Does this allow me to download the ISO file without the too large error that appears in boot camp?
