Heard a loud pop while playing a game opened up the pc and it was very hot. Wouldn't power back on. Unplugged everything from the power supply except the mother board and still no power. So I took everything out and I believe the power supply has a smell to it. Is there a way to make sure it's the power supply stopping my PC from turning on before I order a new one tonight? Also how many watts should I really have. After using this calculator http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine it says minimum 680w recommended 730w. Mine is 700w could this have been a problem?
