Is it possible for a psu to burnout if the pc is trying to draw too much power in amperes?

If it is a cheapy PSU yes. If it is quality there will be some sort of OVP (over voltage protection) and OCP (over current protection) to turn the power supply off to protect it.
Cheap PSUs may have OCP, but are rated too high, meaning the OCP and OVP won't kick in until its drawing too much power for the thing to handle.
Cheap PSUs have bad quality capacitors, and are usually light if you pick them up. Less components inside.
OEM are usually standard cheapy PSUs. if it is cheap such as rated 500W, it may only be able to give 400W.
ok so my suspicions are right then, many thanks
