Blue Sparks Coming Out Of My PSU!

Hi, I was playing a game when suddenly my pc switched off and i could see massive blue sparks inside the case, i turned it off at the power and turned it on again and the blue sparks came back but my pc didn't come on, is my psu dead?

its an 800W Hi-Power http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135197

i've only had it just under a year, could it be something else or is it definetly dead?

Same sort of thing happened to me!! Except it was a screw in my case, basically it could cost you a lot of money cos it cos me quite a bit. You probably blown ur psu, plus u have likely damaged ur motherboard. Send it in for repair and hope for the best lol

well my cpu,gfx card and hard disk still work cos i transferred them to my old dell not sure about the motherboard though, ill get a new psuand test it outi was thinking about a corsair VX550W is that good enough for my rig or should i go with the tx650w?

Also, the motherboard is probably dead unless your power supply had over-voltage protection.

yeh it has over voltage protection so hopefully my hardware ok

I would definately replace your psu to be on the safe side, I wouldn't be happy using it again even if it did start working again.
