PC just went bang!

[AshB1989]

Good evening.

I was just minding my own business when my PC decided to go bang. Everything just shut off - I thought I had a power cut or something. I tried to turn it back on and it tripped the main RCD on the fuseboard. I could smell burning, like something has definitely blown up, but what?

Would I start with the PSU? I currently have a cx550m PSU. What would be a good replacement for my ATX case?

TIA

Yeah something absolutely went to heaven!

I’ll start with the PSU and go from there, thank you.

Yeah it’s Corsair. I ordered -

Asus TUF Gaming 750W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply​

That’ll fit in my case, right? Will I need any additional cables?

Replace all power cables with the new ones do not mix cables from different power supplys

Okay I’ll order some extras. Thank you for the heads-up.

Edit: won’t the PSU come with some? I have some blue aftermarket ones, but they’ll be okay, won’t they? I’ll take it apart and dust it all off the replace the cables that come with the PSU.

Okay, I’ll replace them all then.

I was looking to spec a PC for a friend, but didn’t haven’t much joy with that thread.

Thank you mate. I’ll get on it once I’ve sorted this PSU out. Thanks again everybody.
