PSU - Safe ?

Ive turned off my PC at the end of the day as usual, went to bed, then after 10 sec I started hearing electrical short buzzing coming out of the PSU. I unplugged it, switched the power off, and just about as I was to open up my PC to see whats wrong, it stopped, and im using the PC now.

Is it safe ?

It might be safe, but maybe not. How lucky do you feel?

If it were my PC I would probably be changing the PSU as a precaution, or RMA it if it's still in warranty.

I certainly would'nt be using it. The GX series are poor quality psu's so take the opportunity to get something decent.
