Was about to install COD5 when my machine just shut down.

Upon restart the market spot in the picture below started smoking up, and smell of burning.

This is where the mouse and keyboard sockets get plugged in and has the following written on it "PhoenixBios Bios 686".

I shut her down, checked cables, system and restarted and got this:

1) Motherboard lights are burning.
2) CPU fan running.
3) GPU lights on and running.
4) Everything else appear to be just fine.

Problem is my lights in Keyboard,mouse does not come on and the screen (Monitor) stays blank, system not booting Cry

Any advice for a sad simmer Cry

Thanking helpers in advance!!

PS: Could possibly the capacitors just next to the marked unit, they don't seem budged though Cry

Try another psu I think it might have gone pop. I've blown 2 all with burning coming from all angles Grin

the power supply provides +3.3v, +5v, +12v and -5V during normal operation, the fans, drives and indicator lights usually run on the 5v and 12v circuits. It is possible for the power supply to not give all the proper voltages and still run the fans, drives and lights but not your monitor. You may also need to try another video card, borrow a mates for a day.

Took my setup for inspection at a very well respected IT store.

After all components were tested the outcome was a damaged Mobo and destroyed PSU. Power Spike, gotta hate living in louzy Africa Embarrassed

They have ordered new parts and my rig should be back up and running Friday.

At least I will be able to play my COD5 for the 1st time now
