This thread moved quickly from a resource/troubleshooting angle into a clear hardware-failure situation. Below is concise, practical guidance that fills gaps left by earlier replies from and comments from : immediate safety steps, realistic data-recovery expectations, and sensible rules for replacing or rebuilding hardware.

Immediate actions when electrical/burning symptoms appear

  • Disconnect mains power and keep the machine unplugged. Do not power it on again.
  • Photograph external and internal damage for warranty or insurance claims.
  • If the drive appears intact and there is no visible charring, consider removing it and connecting it as a secondary or via a USB adapter to retrieve data. If there is any mechanical damage, strange noises, melted connectors, or burn marks, stop—do not spin the drive.
  • Do not open a hard drive enclosure or attempt platter repairs outside a cleanroom; that destroys recovery chances.

Notes on data recovery and diagnostics

  • Logical (software) failures are often recoverable by imaging the drive and scanning the image. Mechanical failures require a professional recovery lab and can be expensive. Repeated attempts to boot a damaged system can make recovery harder or impossible.
  • If a PSU failed, it may have damaged the motherboard, CPU, memory, and drives. Keep damaged parts intact and documented; professional shops can test components to determine what failed first.

Advice for replacement and preventing recurrence

  • Prioritize a high-quality power supply (reputable brand, 80 Plus certified) and a UPS/surge protector for important systems. Cheap PSUs are a common cause of catastrophic failures.
  • Match the CPU and GPU to the actual workload rather than a marketing label alone; ensure adequate case ventilation and a proper case/PSU pairing.
  • When rebuilding, use ESD-safe practices, keep receipts/warranties, and have backup routines in place so a single hardware loss does not mean permanent data loss.

Context note: software troubleshooting (safe mode, offline malware scans, minimal startup services) is appropriate when there are no signs of electrical damage; once burning or smoke is present, stop and treat it as a hardware safety issue.
