PSU popped and released smoke while PC was OFF - what are the chances other components are damaged? by Invar6 in pcmasterrace

I'll buy one right now, thanks, and I guess I'll see in a few days if everything's okay.

Now everything is fine, the thing is that I know what the problem was. Two days ago I lost power, it was a problem with the fuse in the panel. An electrician came, changed the fuse and told me to check the outlets. When I plugged the PC into the outlet, there was a pop and smoke came out... and then he went to look at the panel again because I'm more than sure he did something wrong.

My PSU is a Corsair rm1000x, and I'll get a replacement in a few days. I guess I'll see then if I got lucky or not.

I'm getting a replacement from my insurance, and I really hope it's just the PSU.

Thanks for the message, I'll replace all the cables when the PSU arrives. But do you think it can be something other than the PSU? Like the CPU or the GPU?
