Is War Thunder destroying my PSUs?

Community Technical Support Hardware, Driver Problems & Advice

Hello. I am a new player of this game.

My rig has these specifications:

CPU: I3 6100
RAM: DDR4 8GB
GPU: RX 580 8GB 2048SP
PSU: DMES PS650-BLK12B 650W

My PC turns off and won’t turn on after having the game in the hangar for a while. It turns out that the fuse was blown. I have replaced it with the same rating but as soon as i plug the power cord in it blew. So, i said screw it and bought a new PSU. It ran fine until the very next day where i left it in the hangar and the same thing happened

Weirdly enough, this has never happened before. I’ve played way more intensive games than WT and have never come across a problem like this. I’ve used the first PSU for a couple of months whilst the second one only lasted a day (My wallet is still crying).

I’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or if there are known compatibility issues with my hardware configuration. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my post. I’m eager to resolve this issue and continue enjoying War Thunder without any hiccups. Any help would mean a lot.

Your PSU is shorting, and the fuse is saving your PC.
Time for a new PSU as it seems your current is defective.

I’ve tried with a brand new PSU and the same thing happens.

Motherboard shorting then?
Something with defective power delivery is causing PSU protection to occur…
Case itself?

I’m using the PC right now with another PSU from a different brand. It works fine. My case is not conductive. I’ve also probed (connected? tested?) my case with a multimeter to make sure. Its not reading anything.
