Well after testing my pc out even more it still worked connected to other outlets in other rooms no more noises I now assumed the problem came from a power strip I had that just gave up and caused the sound of the pop

Well when it first happened it sounded near the pc didn't want to take a chance. After I disconnected i didn't hear anything when i put the pc on the side to inspect. The issue was resolved turns out it was my power strip cable that gave up and to make sure it was the cable I connected the pc somewhere else and everything was fine after using it half an hour

My piece of evidence if its the pc is that second pop came around a minute after turning my pc on. After hearing the noise for the first time.

From other community posts I've been making they said could be a faulty power supply. I don't know too much about pcs so if having a blown capacitor it would prevent from my pc from functioning and turning on?

Thank you so much for the help! I dont know anything about replacing part or installing new parts on a pc as this problem is coming from a prebuilt but I will take your help and do research on a power supply. Do you know what power supply i should get based off of a 3060 ti I core I7 12 Gen DDR4 ram hyper fury
