Man, never buy low cost smps like intex etc. The 450W is there on specs only. In reality, they will not supply the required power for your pc and they fail. Get good smps from corsair, vip, seasonic etc. This will cost around 2K and has warranty for 3 years. The corsair builder series is really VFM.

Thank you i will go for corsair smps, but some doubt is it smps problem because before it was working fine in the same configuration.

These low cost smps fail often. I can't remember how many times I replaced the smps of my old desktop. These smps use low cost components and they are not capable of supplying required current to your system and it simply burn under high load requirement when you task your system like in gaming. For a comparison, my corsair vsx450 weighs almost a kg and the older intex one just a few 100 grams only.
