so i took all the ram out of my computer as i was selling it and installed some new sticks. they was seated correctly. i noticed a red light towards the right of the ram only on for around 2 seconds then its started smocking and then hissed. i immediately turned of my pc. it happened where the copper or metal is now showing. what can this be and is it safe to run my computer?
