Well i picked up a MSI P45 Diamond DDR3 motherboard from Frys and proceed to install it.. i Used
E6600
2x1GB DDR3 Patriot RAM
700w CM UCP PSU
SATA CD-ROM
SATA Raptor 150GB
Well after getting it setup, i plug everything in USB/Power/VGA and proceed to turn it on.. when i do the motherboard started smoking!! i could see the smoke pouring off the stupid thing, it smelt like burning rubber, well i hastily unplugged everything and quickly pulled out the mobo(after it stopped smoking of course which lasted a good few mins!) When looking at the motherboard it looks perfectly ok, but it seems the area around the CPU PWM phase burnt up.. if i put my nose there i can pick it the smell really strong around that area whereas the rest doesnt.
Now i just picked up this mobo, which was an open box, yesterday from Frys... obviously im going to return it saying "it doesnt work" but my real question is.. will anything have gotten damaged? im kinda afraid of testing the PSU because it was a brand new PSU so im afraid it may of had something happened to it
