Don't actually think DD2 is the cause but damn the timing was suspect (about 10 mins into character creator).
Never seen anything like this – major bummer

didn’t gamers nexus just do a video about evga psu?
the game did not kill your psu
did you use daisy chain on the other end? which gpu did that power?
Software can’t kill hardware, unless the hardware or the hardware’s bios (in this case it would be the gpu’s bios, though that is much more likely to kill the gpu) is faulty.
Faulty connectors, loose connectors, or bad PSU is your killer man. Not the game
i lost my whole game when i masterballed mew, i feel u
Surely this did not happen in a matter of 10 minutes.
Unlikely it was the game, not saying a game can’t have an impact (The New World for example), just its likely not going to be melting your PSU.
Tbh, I don’t really trust EVGA anymore with regards to their newer stuff. Some of their PSU use cheaper OEM suppliers. Their best stuff was made by a brand called Super Flower (don’t let the name fool you), and it used to make a large chunk of the premium PSUs on the market. Still does to some extent.
Bro tried to “overclock it”
Looks more like user error. Software didn’t do this.
Man, the amount of people taking this post seriously is astonishing.
Yesterday I plugged in a non corsair plug into my corsair rm1000x psu. The plug was just for a damn light strip controller. Hit the switch and the famous “zerp” sound happened. Psu dead! Thankfully it’s only 6 months old under warranty.
Games don’t kill hardware. Faulty parts kill them selfs.
Reminds me of when I was playing MHW and my connector plastic melted into my 3080 ti.
Good times. /s
What PSU is it?
Did you try turning it off and on again?
Is that an EVGA PSU? If so, this video might be relevant to you

Skill Issue, you didn’t plug it in correctly.
Hopefully only the PSU is killed and nothing else.
Awesome, this game kills everything!, reviews, peoples times, boredom, and.. PSUs
Holy buckets! I hope the rest of your system is okay.
Game killed your PSU bro! Contact Steam and tell them to buy you a new computer.

Must have been a faulty psu. I had one straight up spark and start smoking last year just randomly playing cod.
Very unfortunate, I’m sorry
oof that fucking blows
did you buy the “we won’t blow up your computer” DLC? that’s pretty crucial if you want to play the game
My SSD kinda exploded while downloading DD2 if that counts.. It didn’t even last 2 years.
Hahaha so sorry bro
You didn’t buy the low power DLC /s
More like undersized power supply that went boom under load
Those are high-current crimp pins in that connector, they should be able to handle the load. Does your GPU have one of those splitter cables on it for more than one 12V connector or something? If not try to warranty that PSU back to the manufacturer, it should not do that.
This didn’t happen to be one of those RMA’ed EVGA PSU’s where the pinouts got swapped around and they told you to keep you cables?
i forgot who said it. but psu manf need to standard pin lay outs.
I had a corsair PSU catch fire once. That was fun. At least I was home when it happened. I was overclocking my i7 920 and was running a stress test to check stability.
Probably a 300w+ graphics card with plugged with only one cable…
Each pci 8 pin cable supports 280 watts.
So if you have a powerfull graphics card you need to split in 2 cables.
It was not the game lol
I might be an oddball. I own a Super Flower Leadex Platinum. Bought it on sale 8 months ago. Before that, Corsair since I started building PCs. Never had a Corsair fail on me.
