[QUOTE=''sabbath2gamer''] ok so i was having problems with my pc it wouldnt turn on just the fan and the LED would turn on for like a milisecond and then tit stopped so i thought it was the psu then i left it oveernight with out touching it i woke up right now tried to turn it on and i saw a little flame on my mobo what is wrong what happen???it was working fine for the few days that i built it my specs are in my sig [/QUOTE] if you have warrenty take it back now, if you got it from newegg.com tell thm your problem they will tell you what to do.wth i tried turning my comp on and a fla ...
i built the computer?what do i need to return the mobo and the psu or what cuz for i sure im retutnign the mobo
if you saw a flame on the mobo then thats no good. Maybe the cpu and ram wasnt effected but you need to smell them and see if they smell like rotten eggs. thats how you know if they are burnt or not.
ok but right now why would the mobo have gotten on fire
[QUOTE=''sabbath2gamer'']ok but right now why would the mobo have gotten on fire[/QUOTE] a few reasons, 1 do you have a surge protector? 2 do you have a screw inback of the mobo you forgot about? 3 faulty board.
would it be becuase of a screw maybe but i have to check do you think my psu was also dead from yestersays topic?
[QUOTE=''sabbath2gamer'']ok but right now why would the mobo have gotten on fire[/QUOTE]
Maybe a faulty capacitor blew, in which case that would be covered by the warranty provided by the motherboard's manufacturer. You did use the spacer screws to separate your motherboard from your case right? If not it could have been a short circuit.

i didnt use the spacers cuz the case has some already emebeded in it
just ontop of my head, any electrical interference like maybe something electronic touching your case or magnets, cellphone, or moitor too close to the case?
Corsair PSU's have surge protection.I cant really help on this topic but i hope you get your PC working fine again.

It sounds like the original problem was the board was shorting out. Since you saw flame, it is very possible the board is dead, so if possible you should try to get a replacement.Next time you get similar results, everything turning on for a second then turning back off. Try setting the motherboard up outside of the case on a phone book or something to see if the case is causing the shorting.
heres a pic
Where did you purchase it from? I would return it immediately.
[QUOTE=''ch5richards'']Where did you purchase it from? I would return it immediately.[/QUOTE]i got it from zipzoomfly but the 30day warranty thing is over so i have to return it to MSI
From what I can see one of the capacitors fried, Do have a better image so we can see in more detail? Your Motherboard is fried you need a new one, CPU,Ram,GPU should be alright unless there was a big surge.

i think the capacitator must have suffered from the flame so do you think all my other parts are still fine how would i be able to tell?
