Loud Pop = PC Broke?

Basically I think my computer is fucked, I’m just trying to figure out what the issue is

Been using it within the last hour, audible pop and the PC has completely gone off. Assumed it was a power cut, try turning PC back on and no response.

Check the PSU cable, seems the plug was halfway out the socket of the extension cord, so I’m assuming that’s a factor? All other electronics plugged into the same extension cord work fine.

Have tried cleaning out the machine for any dust, different extension cords, different wall outlets etc, just will not boot.

The most I get is these two buttons lighting up white when the PSU is plugged back in. If I hit the power button it effectively sounds like you’ve exhaled all your breathe for about half a second.

So…. safe to assume need a new PSU or possibility of any other components being the culprit? On a NZXT C1200 for the PSU.

Any help massively appreciated!
