Question Antec TruePower 1000. That is not even close to 50% load, know to blowup while idle ?

Question it's possible to have killed other stuff?. Is there a special kind of protection inside Antec PSU ?

Question I know my PSU has 5 years Warranty. If it's dead and killed other hardware will ANTEC replace other parts ? Has anyone dealt with ANTEC before ?

Context Story :

(My primary language is not english)


Last night, I heard a huge powerfull electric buzzzz. It did not do BANG like typical PSU Explosion. It sounded like if a arc of lightning traveling on wires. It was extremly loud and I was very far in a diffrent room watching hockey and it out noise my hockey game and another tv with " wife stuff ". I dint had any clue about what just happened almost call the fire depart. I was not arround the computer at that time. I could smell the burned rubber all over the place. I tought that perhaps a shortcircuit happen in the wall. I Found out later that it was my Primary Computer. Nothing on my Belkin powerbar stopped working... beside my Quad Cpu

My Wife heard Hydro Transfo died in her life but nothing has scaring like last night... huge build of electricity buuuuzzz

No Boom or pow ... BuuUZzz
