Any help will be greatly appreciated, if it's in the wrong section please move. Thanks.
Alright, so about 2 months ago I had a faulty gpu now I'm wondering if it may be my psu. I also have faulty case usb ports which if I have more than 2 connected to the front case it starts glitches out and not detecting them properly...
But today was the kicker, I had noticed my graphics card fan had developed a ticking noise, I had the side panel off and looking and listening and after about 10 minutes I noticed the LEDs start dimming on the case, then I smelt smoke, then I noticed smoke coming from the case. I thought it was the gpu being faulty, the first faulty one didn't smoke or anything, just powered off and black screened but I thought here we go again.
So I returned the windforce 290, came home and I have a 4770k so I have no display without a gpu. But decided to turn it on to make sure nothing smoked and the lights didn't dim, but soon as I turned it on heaps of smoke came out, lights were going on and off, the smoke was coming from near the cd drive and near all the usb headers.
I disconnected the Cd drive took it apart and can't see any scorch marks or anything. Turned the pc back on without the cd drive and it's running fine albeit with no display or gpu but it's not smoking or powering on and off.
I guess I don't know if the case is stuffed, the psu is stuffed or the cd drive. Is it basically just guess work from here?
Cheers.
