I turned my computer on this morning. Heard a weird pop and then smelled smoke. I promptly turned it off and unplugged all the power cords, etc.
Most of what I found online points to a power supply problem. I went to the corsair website and the troubleshooting recommended testing the PSU, so I did and it does still run.
Should the PSU still be replaced? Or is there something else that could be the problem?
Thanks!
