I had fitted the CPU, fan, GPU into the case, and had performed several boots to the BIOS.
In the fifth, a sharp BANG went off at the connection between the PSU and its cable to the mains. I did not have this connected to the wall with a surge protector, foolishly. Now no mains plugs in my room work and the rig does not so much as power up in different rooms.
I presume the PSU is fried or at least fused, and I will need to refuse the mains in my room.
Any input from experts would be appreciated. I will provide any clarifications.
Edit: I have restored the mains in the rooms at the fusebox. I'm not touching the build until I get a better surge protector though.
Clarification: This problem occurred after over 2 minutes were spent at the BIOS. This wasn't at the PSU being started up.
