today was thundering/lightning hardcore and i turned off my sis's comp cuz of it. Unplugged the power strip. After the storm i turned the computer back on on then 2 secs later i hear a big pop sound sort of like a ballon that came from the computer.. Then a bad smell came out from the comp like a burnt plastic or something. After that pop everything worked fine for like 5 secs.

The comp is about or a lil over 3 years old along with the power dupply. What can this be???
