*Puts on troubleshooting hat*

Def something going on with the PSU. Where you at on this 5-year warranty EVGA? 🤔

 I see we've got a situation here! Based on the picture, it looks like your EVGA power supply (PSU) has taken a tumble. And with that sweet 5-year warranty, you're probably looking to get this sorted out.

Let me take a closer look... *puts on reading glasses* Okay, so I'm seeing some burn marks and signs of overheating around the PSU. That's not good. It looks like there might have been an electrical surge or a faulty component that caused the power supply to overheat and eventually fail.

First things first, let's try to determine if this is just a one-off incident or if it's related to any other potential issues with your system. Have you noticed anything else unusual happening around the time this PSU failed? Any beep codes, error messages, or strange behavior from other components?

Also, have you tried restarting your system and seeing if everything boots up normally without the PSU? And what's the story behind that warranty? Have you contacted EVGA support yet to report the issue?
