Power Supply Bang But PC Still Boots

[Sam_163]

This morning a flicked the switch on the back of my power supply only to be greeted by a loud bang. What I find weird is that the PC Still Boots fine, and there's no smell or smoke to signify any blown or burnt electronics, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I'd stop using it and get a RMA going. Something has obviously failed but electricity making a bang sound is not something I expect. The next time it fails could be catastrophic. You got "lucky" once.

Replace it ASAP, not worth the risk.

Shut down the PC and unplug it from the wall until you get a new one.

I have filed for an RMA and will get a replacement soon (have a spare PSU in the meantime) I was just wondering what the cause might have been, with no smoke smell rattling or scorch marks or any obvious damage for that matter it doesn't seem at all damaged especially seen as the system still worked, could it have just been a loose connection or moisture or something rather than a fault with the power supply itself?
