Electric sparks while connecting power cord to psu :/

samiur

today i was cleaning my pc and after cleaning when i put together everything and plugged in the power cord , mobo power led didnt blink ( i found out it was loose :p) then again i plugged appropriately some sounds of sparks came out and i saw my mobo light blinked for a sec until i plugged off completely :/ after that i plugged again turned the psu on and mobo led came as solid and turned on pc normally and repeated the same again but this time no spark :/ 

so will such sparking will silently kill my all parts :/ or mobo and psu have some protection for unusual sparking catastrophe 

btw my psu is TT smart se530 watt ( 1.5 years old )

No this is a normal connection sound. If you are worried by the noise then just plug in your PSU prior to plugging it in at the wall!

 

But don't worry you wouldn't have caused any problems!

 

Peace! B|

My power strip will spark sometimes when I plug stuff in, unless its sparking all the time it should be fine......but I would just buy a new PSU just to be safe. Btw, is there anything in the plug that could be causing it?
