Antec 450W True Power Classic. I don't know why. Can I open it, or is that kinda dangerous? Could post pictures to find out what component has gone poof. It also turned off a switch in my fuse box, or whatever it's called in english. After flipping the switch and then turning the PC on again, again it made *POOF*. Sparks flying. Replaced the PSU and magically everything still works.


The build:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600. AMD Radeon RX 460 Graphics. Mainboard ASRock B550M-HDV. 16 GB RAM.

e: build is 5 months old. PSU was six years old, the Radeon like 5 years, everything else is new.

Don't open the PSU as it could potentially kill you. If your replaced it just ditch the old one and consider yourself lucky that it didn't take anything else with it when it went bang.

Yeah, I think the fans were failing, as the replacement makes less noise.
