This issue only happened with my room and every time i plug my pc in my whole room dies and i have to turn it on with breaker switch
I think the issue is with the psu using too much power or something else
The PSU uses 600W with rtx 3060ti Intel 12400F and comes with the case
I used another additional power supply with it in case my power dies and i can turn off the pc
Even when i unplugged the additional psu it still continues to die and my pc smells burnt
What could the main hardware issue be in this situation

This is of course assuming you've already tried the system with different outlets, if possible I would test the system in another room entirely.

Can you tell me what exact PSU it is?

Yeah... Never heard of that brand, which isn't a good thing if I'm being honest

#

Instead of getting the unit just replaced, I would look into seeing if you could get a refund and replace it with a proper unit.

#

The fact that it's popping the breaker already tells a lot about it's quality.

Since the case came with the psu as well

I know it's quite tempting to go with a cheap chinese unit, but they typically cause a lot of headache down the line. I typically recommend Seasonic B12 as a good quality budget option, but I know that those can be a bit more expensive in Turkey.

#

If you can't find the brand/unit on the list, assume it's F-tier.

You most likely have a live-neutral short somewhere in your system. Was the 1st PSU completely disconnected when you tried the other one?
