Yesterday I play game on my PC while raining.
Suddenly thunder strike quite close to my house and I believe I hear an explosion, not sure from where.
I think a short circuit just happened.
I am sure it disrupting my PC, then turn it off.
I plug the power cable off the wall. I leave it and back after the rain gone.
Turns out my monitor is fine but my PC is dead, zero activity when I press the power switch.
Both my monitor and PC power plug to a same source.
At first I thought it is only my power supply dead.
Luckily I have a super old LGA775 motherboard.
I plug my PSU the the motherboard with no processor and memory.
And it works, therefore I believe my PSU is safe.
Now I can confirm that my motherboard and processor died.
I have two sticks of 8GB DDR4, one of them is died. Luckily, they replace it.
Now the question is, I bought new CPU and Motherboard (of course not a GPU)
My PSU is alive, but I am afraid something bad is actually happening inside my PSU even though it is running and at some point it will break my new CPU and mobo.
Do you guys think I should change my PSU or I am just being paranoid?
My PSU is Seasonic Core GC 500W, it is a 500W gold.
