I was turning off my computer and psu in preparation for some hardware changes to my tower but while the psu switch was off, i accidentally knocked the power button on the case causing the computer to start up for a split second before turning off. All the fans started spinning, both on the case and gpu, and the lights came on for a brief moment before turning off. I just built this rig and im really scared that i damaged some of my parts, and i just wanted to know if it is possible to cause damage from this and if so, how can i check for it or find the extent of the damage. Thanks!

Turn it on. If it works it works. At the very most you... no, I can't think of any damage you would have done. Start it up and if it catches fire then sue me :P

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
