Question Cpu light goes on then i hear a bang and lights flash...

[crinckle]

k so i was just doing some work, using Chrome like normal when most things freeze and I can't open anything or load anything, first I thought it was the internet but file explorer didn't open so I just decided to restart, when I did the CPU light came on even after I unplugged everything (after looking at other threads), so I tried reseating the CPU, but I noticed that I bent an RGB header so I bent it back and plugged it in again. After I turned it back on I heard a bang/crack sound while all the lights on my PC flashed (looked like a power surge), that went on for abt 1 second before I turned the switch off, after which I could smell a faint burning smell (I have a bad sense of smell).



Ryzen 5 5600
Rtx 2060 zotac
Aorus B450 pro (v1 I think)
Crucial p2 250gb
MAG A650BN (650 watt psu)
Silverstone pf240w (rad)

the only USB devices I had were my mouse (glorious model o), my keyboard (redragon k552-rgb), and a random micro-usb cable that was (it wasn't at the time) connected to my Xbox controller. I might be able to get (some parts: CPU, ram, PSU, and motherboard) under warranty not sure.

Any help would be very appreciated

so probably the psu and motherboard got fried?

The most likely cause is the PSU. The sound would have been from capacitors that exploded.
