New system, long story short i tested the motherboard without screwing it into the case, just the psu and motherboard, bam, works, test the cpu and it works. I then screw the motherboard into the case to test the graphics card and nothing happens, cpu fan doesnt move, nor the psu. Take the screws out and it works again. I find this odd, so i try some more screws that came with my case, couple do the same thing, get to a third screw and BAM hear a fizzing and this black thing
Located bottom right, underneath the green thing to the right of the yellow sata ports
Then a small spark and little flare, so i immediately switch the psu off to a burning smell. Whats more is that my cpu cooler is fastened to the cpu, i managed to remove the two, neither was warm and there are no signs of melting or damage, external at least. I prey that its fine but who knows, i havent got another motherboard handy
So my question is
What the hell?
Regards
