New EVGA PSU sparked?
Hello!
I just installed a new EVGA PSU into my main computer today and after doing some cable management I tested it out in my living room, everything spun up perfectly! After carrying it to my game room and getting it setup I tried powering it on but it blinked all RGB / power and then turned off right after. So I switched everything off, re-seated the power cable, and went to turn it on again but this time i seen a small spark inside the PSU case. I again powered everything off and rushed it to the living room to inspect it. There was no smell and seemingly no damage. I carefully inspected all of my connections and re-seated every cable to make sure they were completely in.
It booted up perfectly fine after that, no sparks, no powering down. I carefully brought it back to the game room and now it’s working fine!
In the end of this mini-heart attack I guess my questions are:
Thank you for any help/tips!

In the end of this mini-heart attack I guess my questions are:
- What could of caused this kinda spark?
- If everything is seemingly fine should I be concerned?
