Recently the powersupply in my computer blew up probably because i put in a graphics card that used up to much electricity for it. So i bought me a new powersupply online and now whenever i turn on my computer it makes a constant beep noise and i dont know how to stop it. This is a 600w powersupply from Powork that should actually be good enough for my computer. Can somebody help me? I just hope that my motherboard didn't get messed up when that other powersupply blew.

It's unlikely the beeping is coming from the power supply. Beeps are typically a code from the bios telling you there is some hardware problem. Most likely while you were inside the case changing the PSU you accidently jostled something loose or in general messed something up. Check your manual. The beep codes are often listed there. If not, google "beep codes".

You seem to be ignorant of how PSUs work, else you wouldn't be prideful of your 600W Poorwork PSU knowing it cost way less than $20.00
You better return it for a refund and get a real replacement PSU, before you burn down your entire neighborhood.

I suspect the other PSU was also made by Poorwork.
Overloading a PSU should not cause it to fail completely - it should just stop working until the overload is removed.
A well designed PSU will detect fault conditions like overload, short circuit, under voltage or over voltage and shut itself down before any damage is done.
Unless it is so cheap that manufactures have not fitted any protection circuits.

I agree with the others. The PSU you bought is garbage. A decent name brand 600W PSU *should* cost at least $75. The beeping has nothing to do with it though. You probably knocked something loose while messing around inside the case. Check your video card & RAM to make sure they're fully seated in their slots.
