installed os with loose psu power cable

[mistmistmist]

Hey, something interesting happened with a new pc build. During the first boots, i had the psu power cable loosely plugged in, which was causing a red cpu light on the motherboard and no display. (i didn't know what was causing it and tried to restart multiple times)

 

(i realized that it was loose only after the next part)

 

then i turned my pc off and flipped the psu switch twice and that seemed to fixed the problem temporarily as I got into bios and started installing windows with a usb drive. After installing windows, I downloaded some drivers and software before turning my pc off.

 

when i tried to turn my pc on again, the same red cpu light was on with no display. this time i checked the psu power cable and plugged it in firmly and also flipped the switch twice. This fixed the issue and i got into windows without problem.

 

Could the loose psu power cable while installing windows and restarting my pc multiple times have caused any damage? is reinstalling windows a good idea even if for now, I haven't noticed anything strange except a long boot time of around 19 seconds, but this could be caused because i turned off fast boot.

 

i have asrock x870 steel legend motherboard, psu is seasonic focus gx750

You're good, if the PSU cable maintained power to the board the programs were properly installed, else the PC would have shut down

And the long boot time is just an AM5 RAM training thing

The only way abruptly cutting power can damage anything is if it's in the middle of writing a file when it happens. Even then, the only consequence is a corrupt file.
