Power supply went out
Okay, I was reading through the forums earlier, then left (computer still on) to make a store run. I get home about 45 minutes later, put my groceries away then head to my computer. It hit the mouse and keyboard it doesn't respond at first, then it pops up, literally. I suddenly see smoke look right to my tower and see a very light amount of smoke rolling out of the case. I instantly remove the power and take the computer apart. I thought oh #### did my motherboard fry? I check everything after a complete disassembly and see no visible damage or burns any where. I recheck the motherboard again, everything is normal.
I then carefully look at the power supply, and give it a sniff..yep there is the culprit, a light burnt smell, I don't have the best smell so I missed it at first.
I then unplug all the modular cables, the pci express 6 pin has a pin that came out when disconnecting, and looks slightly black. Did it take out my card too I wonder.
I took apart my spare computer, removed the psu and benched it on my rig. Powers right up, no issue. I didn't hook up the video card as the spare PSU isn't powerful enough.
I bought everything at fry's in Feb, can I take the PSU back there or would I have to go through corsair?
Do you think my vid card is gone? It has no visible damage, and doesn't smell burnt.
I just want to cry, please give me any advice on whether I might have lost the card too
