I've been dealing with a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR that leads to a blue screen, and I think I might've pinpointed the problem. I have a Ryzen 5600X CPU, Nvidia 3080 FE GPU, and 64GB of DDR4 RAM powered by a CORSAIR SF750 PSU. I noticed that the internal cable in my NR200P case is burnt where it connects to the external cable. The connections to the PSU seem fine, but the external power cable looks like it's about to burn through completely. Could this be a faulty cable or is the PSU likely the culprit?

If the PSU wasn't an issue before, it’s definitely problematic now. A burnt connection is never a good sign; I wouldn't trust the plug where it’s melted at all.
I'd recommend trying a new cable first since the PSU looks okay at the connection. But if problems persist, consider swapping the PSU. Given its age, you might still have some warranty left on it.
Can you check the marking on the power cord? It might say something like '14 AWG' or '14 GA.' Make sure you're using a heavier gauge cord, especially if you're running a high-wattage PSU.
