Hi,
So I have a huge problem. I just received my new 750w bronze modular aero cool psu and fitted in my pc. I had it unplugged from all cables including power. And switched off at the back on the psu.
I unplugged all cables related to the psu and accidentally unplugged some cables for the case power but these were later plugged in when I installed my new psu and plugged in all the cables to the relevant areas.
So once I fitted everything, I went to turn on the pc once I plugged in the power cord and switched on at the back but it wasn't turning on. So I did a quick forum check and found out that I did my power and reset plugs into the mobo the wrong way round. I went back into my pc and put it in the right way following what it said in my mobo guide.
Once I started it this time, it turned on all fine but where I have my led strip 4 pin header, a small square below those pins caught fire. I instantly switched off the psu from the back and unplugged the cable from the pc.
Once I had taken a look at it to see what caught fire, when I was moving it down onto the floor the small square fell off because it was that fried.
I will attach a picture so you can see what I am talking about.
Please can someone advise on what to do, what this means(the part that is fried and fell off), am I safe to assume I can keep using the pc or shall not bother and get a new mobo?
