VixenLogic0120.5 - Well, That Doesn't Sound Good
Welp... an exploding power supply unit was not how we wanted to start 2026 but here we are :T
You know it's bad when smoke actually comes out of the PSU x.x
Fortunately I have a backup, but it will be some time before the main desktop gets repaired.
Check out Vixen Logic!

oh yeah same thing happened to my PC last decempber/last month, it was a decent 2019 corsair RM series PSU too, used 3 outta 10 years warranty before it just POP once really loud, just dish in a even more expensive PSU to have it not happen again. dont cheap out of PSU
Still better than a friend, who had his PSU _catch fire_... and the computer was working fine while orange lights danced through the grill! (he unplugged it immmmeeeediately) (ASUS admitted to the bad components and sent him, to replace the 550W, a High Gamer 900W... which was brand new...)
Hope the replacement is clean and without problems!

I live in fear of this experience right now. I both cannot afford a new computer with my job having gone away due to... politics... and if it fried the motherboard as it went out... well I'd rather jump off a bridge than downgrade to the next windows OS. My current plan is to swap to Linux finally.
Microsoft has continued their tradition of ruining everything they touch, and I am not dealing with their latest mess... I do not envy you, and I hope you only need the PSU, that nothing else was damaged as it shorted out...

You're reminding me of my first desktop computer with mentioning the literal smoke coming out of it.
My first desktop was actually a hand me down from my dad, and was THE gaming PC of the 2000s (I got handed down to me in 2008-ish), a lot of money was dumped on it. Could Run the original crysis with high FPS, and ArmA at a full 30 frames a second in high comp missions (Which, actually was unironically a accomplishment). I've nicked name the computer "Hercules" for obvious reasons
Thing was loud, and its fan could be heard from a distance even when not running something intense. Got hot as well, to where too much thermal paste would actually burning things (Not much, but enough for the computer's safety measure to shut it self down). It was finicky, but it ran things well and I play old games away even to this day.
Well years later I get a new PC, one with LEDs and overall just newer things, and my dad wanted something for his emulators, so I give it back. Thing was sitting around doing nothing anyway.
The next day I return from school, I asked about it, and he informs me it exploded. Like... actually, blew up, exploded. The thing somehow became a mini IED when he was testing it in the garage to see if it'd even turn on. Luckily, first, he was okay, it didn't throw shrapnel anywhere by the sounds of it and he was a safe distance away for everything else, also second no one called the cops after a large random bang went off in someone's garage. That would have been a whole separate mess.
I don't think there could have been a better send off for that computer.
I had to share, because yeah if there's actual smoke coming out of it... you might want to get that fixed. It makes a fun meme template, but still dangerous.

I have had something like that 10 years ago.
A week my computer wont start at the first press of the powerbutton. you net several trys to start up.
At the final day, 10 trys to start up. Boot up and a big gray cloud rises behind the towercase.....
Panic and a fist neary shattert the workdesk cental power swich. Case disconnected and placed on the desk to open it, smoke still coming out oft he Powersupplie. PSU removed and disassambelt. Found the biggest electrolytic capacitor has cooked up, short to exploding..... :-O
1-2 seconds longer, the dying electrolytic capacitor would have murderd the rest of the Computer.
Replaceed the PSU and the maschine is running....... Still running today, used to control a diy cnc milling maschine.
The nearly murderos PSU is later recaped from me and reinstalled in the computer.
Don,t mind faulty spelling and grammar, i´m german.
