Guys I need help on this matter. Here's what happened.

Yesterday morning, I turn on my pc. It works for about 10 mins & blows the 5A fuse on my extension board. It was an ancient fuse, so i put a new one & start the pc. Windows logo appears & there is a bang noise. The huge capacitor in the primary side of the PSU was popped.

Key specs :

PSU : Corsair GS800 V1

Mobo : Asus M4A88T M-LE

CPU : Phenom II X4 955

GPU : Asus GTX 560Ti

My question is, was the PSU bad or some component in my rig made it happen?

I'm concerned because I'm getting a new PSU & I don't want to burn my house down.

If you have any advice, kindly drop it below.

Thank you.
