What to do after a power outage

[esvada]

I just experience a power outage
My PC is just fine, but I am afraid it did damage to my PC
Do i have to do anything? Scan my Hard Drive for example
My PSU is FSP Hexa+ 500W by the way

You are fine. A power outage should not damage a computer as long as the PSU is properly designed to shut off before the voltage outputs droop too low. And even then, hardware can usually handle some lower voltage without getting killed.

What about this PSU? FSP Hexa+ 500W

FSP has been manufacturing for a number of years. The thing is, they make some crappy and some good units. I found a review of the Hexa 400W here http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=341

Certainly it is a budget unit, but that's no reason to suspect it to cause damage in a power outage. It takes a pretty crappy PSU to do that.
