i ma agree with him and if you still want to use that machine you should install a good cooler for that because it seems that your machine is having the problem with the cooling that may be the reason for that spark in your video card.

and i suggest u to replace the motherboard and psu.

which will e the best for u. if you are having problem with budget then you can go with previous solution.

its probably best if you don't use that system.Sent the motherboard to asus get it serviced or get a new one.Since you said you saw a spark and because the video card is fried(not working)it's highly likely that some of the components in your mobo is dying too.That's the reason your south bridge is getting extremely hot.

Explaining why after rewiring,you system starts is very hard to tell.It may be due to a variety of reasons.

Have your psu inspected or change it too if you get a new motherboard or get the current one serviced.
