Psu gaming failure

[pomkon]

While gaming, the screen went crazy, then after a while, no signal at all.

The pc won’t turn on again, the psu is a bust, can it be fixed? Seasonic x series 650 gold

Short answer, no it's not possible to "fix" a PSU.

Let's start with you listing all your components. Then do say what exactly happened during the "crazy" part.

Could be the motherboard or CPU.

 

So give us as much details as possible.

It went fuzzy.

i have tried with other pc components, the psu is the one broken. 

It’s not a new setup.

Check that it is actually the PSU. Shorting the power on pin with ground while the PSU isn't conencted to the PC should turn it on. 

If it is indeed the PSU, RMA it.

There's a chance it's your board or CPU or something and not your PSU, but the PSU is probably the easiest to rule out. Short the PSU and see if it works that way.

Other PC components like another PSU? 

 

Seriously.. I too am curious as to how you concluded the problem is the PSU.

What possible cpu and motherboard problems could there be?

CPU needs more voltage perhaps. Motherboard might have a dead MOSFET or the like on your VRM. Could need a BIOS update, who knows.

 

I wouldn't recommend doing a BIOS update if your PC shuts down sporadically.

Ok, I learned something

this psu won’t boot the system at all, while others can. I think it is dead,  a common guess, psu capacitors...

Could be a protection kicking in because something else in your PSU failed. Could be capacitors, could be OTP, could be something going wildly out of spec.

 

If your PSU is still under warranty then ask Seasonic for an RMA as it's a good unit that you should replace with another if possible.
