Question PSU popped and flashed on PC startup and shut down the PC.

[FadeawayX]

When i turned on my PC my PSU (Seasonic Focus Gold 650W) popped and i saw a white flash, the pc immediately shut down and i unplugged the power cable from the PC and turned it off, i haven't tried to turn on my PC ever since, is there a chance that my other components can be damaged or even dead? Isn't there like a protection mechanism in PSUs like these and should i be worried ?

You never know. All you can do is get a loaner power supply and test.

seasonic offers a 10 year warranty , see if you can borrow a known working PSU to test everything else, there are protection mechanisms in PSU's but that still doesn't 100% guarantee that it will never cause damage
