Psu blue flashing light comes out when i plug in the power cable and press the on button

[step40]

I did this new pc build but noticed that every time when i plug the power cable and then press the button it comes blue flashing light from the Power Supply.Is this normal?Is like short circuit but no damage after it?I did put my power supply upside down because there are small holes on my case and i ve read that upside down is better when there are holes.

Is the power supply switched off when you plug it in? It should be, but that also shouldn't be the cause of any unusual behavior.

Why are you plugging power cable and how often do you do that?

Seeing some small sparks when the capacitors get charged up is quite normal. If you constantly unplug and plug in the PSU, that can kill the PSU (you can find some topics about it on the forum)

It's the inrush of current charging the caps after they've been discharged.

 

Pro tip:  If you want to work on a grounded PC, leave the PSU plugged in, but have the switch on the back of the PSU in the off position.
