So I tried playing bf3 last night on a Nvidia gt 210 and amd bulldozer fx 6100 and after a few minutes into the game it started to smell like something was burning in my computer. I quit the game and checked my gpu temp on msi afterburner which said (89 C)..  I pulled the clock speed all the way to the left and the graphics clock all the way to the left (on msi afterburner)  and as soon as I hit apply my computer just died. It didn't turn on after that. (Must I tell you guys that I hadn't over clocked my gpu and it was on msi's original settings.  I lowered the clock speed just so that it cooled down faster) 

 

I've already tried unplugging everything and taking out the cmos battery and putting it back in. I took off my gpu and tried to run the pc but it didn't help either. I need some serious help, thank you! 

FYI: the pc doesnt even power on now, let alone going to the bios. Nothing happens when I hit the power button.

does the CPU fan spins when you power on the PC?

 

any signs the GPU is powering on?

 

you may have a dead PSU
