Power supply blew fuse - should I be worried?

I've had my Enermax PSU for about 7 years, it's about 600W from the top of my head. Today it blew a 5amp fuse. I wasn't present at the time, I just came back to find my PC turned off, which normally turned on. It wouldn't turn on, which led me to try the fuse which I discovered had blown.

I'm worried that this blown fuse is the start of things to come. Part of me is in two minds to stress test the computer (Prime95 + Furmark?) and see how the voltages fair up. Or could it possibly be because it's an old fuse?

the fuse blowing may have stopped a surge going from the plug into the unit, you maybe fine.

Thanks, I shall keep an eye on things. I know in my own mind that these older Enermax PSU's are pretty much solid, but I wanted to be sure with other people's opinions too.

Strangely enough, I was considering another PSU the other day. Expect a "spec me a psu" thread any time soon.
