jayhoo Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm not sure if this is power supply issue, power cable issue, or something else. Last night when I turned on my computer, I thought I smelled something burning. I probably should have turned off my computer at this point, but I was ignorant. Maybe 5 to 10 minutes later, I saw a burst of light come from the back of my PC. I went to check it out and didn't see anything. I opened up my side panel to see if something had happened inside, and didn't see anything. I went to go shut down my computer, but by the time I came back around, I saw something burn up behind my computer. Around 2 inches away from my PC, my power cable connected to my CX750M power supply unit had burned in half and part of it was on fire. I immediately cleared cables from the area, and unplugged the powerbar from the wall. I've had this power supply unit for 5 years. I'm afraid to change the power plug cable and turn the machine back on and have the same thing happen. Does anyone have a clue if it's an issue with the power plug, or an issue with the Power Supply Unit, or maybe something else? Thanks for any insight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee jonnyguru Posted November 12, 2017 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 12, 2017 The power cord lit up? Replace it and you're fine. That's a fault with your power cord. Not your PSU. That's not the power cord that came with the PSU, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
