PSU popped after trying to start the pc

[Karol Majcher]

my pc with a corsair cx750 decided to pop today whils i was finishing up my build.
acording to a few wattage calculators my wattage is well above what i needed. I ran the motherboard without the case on a bench twice before putting it in the case flawlessly. When turning it on the pc would turn on all the fans for literally a second and immediatley shut down so i decided to remove the CMOS battery and put it back in still nothing. i removed the ram and reseated it. i removed the graphics hard and tried to boot but still with no succes so i decided to try booting one more time after checking that ALL the connections were in place and thats when my powerunit whend POP with a small flash.
My specs are:
MSI LGA1155/Intel B75/DDR3/SATA3 USB 3.0/A&GbE/MicroATX Motherboard B75MA-P45
Corsair CX750 PSU
8GB of ram
I3 ivy bridge processor
corsair H100I water cooling
Zalman z11 plus HF1 case
1TB HDD
650 TI evga graphics card

Could be a defective PSU, try RMAing it

Agreed, return it a pop in your power supply is never a good indicator.

ive rma the powerunit before i plugged it into the system it worked but now im a bit scared to even fiddle with it
could it have been something with the motherboard that caused it or a plug and is there a way of checking it

Could if have been possibly. Whats more then likely the issue is that something within the components within the power supply unit went wrong.
