Do you guys have any experience with systems surviving a dead PSU?

The system is fine.

Your PSU is just dead. Where are you located?

Jackson MS. Thanks for the answers btw, I've been very lucky for the 4 systems I've built over the years and never had a bad part so this is all new to me.

It's a cooler master masterwatt 550watt bronze. Never used a cooler master PSU after using Corsair and Seasonic in the past. Figured I'd give it a shot since my system only has a ryzen 2400g and no GPU.

My mistake.

I had one fail on me a month or so back. No issues with the rest of the system. Had it for about 4 years but I kept my pc on all the time. Just killed the psu fan. They don't last forever.

The ghetto EVGA model is on sale for $20 on Newegg right now. They also have an EVGA 450W B for $25 with free shipping on B&H.

Boy that didn't take long.

Such arrogance on Nvidias part to say "The customers own their brands and GPP didn't change that".

That's exactly what GPP changed. ROFL
