Issues with new computer build
While OC'ing, I restarted my computer to get into the bios and during posting I heard a pop and then the computer went dead. This build is only 2 months old. The computer consist of a Asus ROG Strix Z690-E MB, Intel 12700K, EVGA 3080ti, Corsair HX1000 power supply, 32G G-Skill Trident 5600 DDR5. Now the only thing I see that powers on is the Led screen on the left side of the MB, Everything else is dead. Trying to see if I some how popped a rail on the psu or something, or did it pop a fuse on the MB.
Thank you

Probably blew a VRM mosfet, you'd have to remove the VRM heatsink to see it and confirm. The PSU should still have some electrolyte caps, if you popped one of those you'd have an odor in the room for a while.

Sounds like a short circuit to me, check wires and psu
