Hi to all,

I have a question that might sound silly but I have to ask nevertheless: So my mom accidentally wiggled the power cord behind the case while cleaning the table and caused a shutdown. Then I rashly plugged power cord again into the case, without unplugging it from the power socket so I suppose it was loaded with current. I managed to reboot my PC but I am being paranoid about my PSU condition. Could it take a damage like that? As I managed to reboot my PC, does this mean that my PSU is safe? I have been using it since 6 years btw.

Thanks,

for me at most it may affect the hard drive but again super unlucky and then just the data it was accessing at the time ? may have to do a sfc/scannow or checkdisk .

I don't think you got hurt in anyway heck I have reached down to unplug something and grabbed and unplugged the cord of the running computer by accident several times ? no biggie

it could , but I feel you would have to be super unlucky .. unless you se some issue afterword's I would not worry about it with all the power surges / outages and lighting I get around here I cant see that being any worse 99.9 % of the time all is as normal after ??

Thanks for your answer! Yes so far there is no problem at all. I am already living in a place where power outages can become common from time to time. So what I have done is not riskier than a standart power outage?

That is correct. You're likely fine.
