Hey guys! So I'm gaming on my PC when my power supply makes a popping noise and shuts off completely... After I stopped crying I tried to figure out what had just happened and I think it might be a fuse on the power supply... I have tried: different sockets, different leads, a different psu on the same PC (which worked).... It's as though it just kinda died...

Thanks

It was probably the capacitors popping or basically dieing. Out of interest, what PSU did you have?
