hey guys
Hope you all will be fine
I am here to discuss a problem that i am facing right now
Yesterday I have shutdown my pc properly
But when today i switched it on, boom, the power of my whole house gone ( circuit breakers switched off)
I tried 2nd and third time, by changing power cables and extension cable, but same result
2nd time I've seen a little spark in PSU
And 3rd time near mobo ( i didn't notice 1st time)
Can you plz explain what could be the problem
Thanks
My PSU is Silverstone Strider 500w fully moduler

You probably shouldn't of kept trying to turn it on after that. If sparks near your mobo then it may be fried as well. If that is then Id start to worry about CPU to. Good Luck. Replace the psu with an EVGA G2 Or Gs/XFX/Seasonic unit.
