Hi, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am not sure if I am just super unlucky or if I am doing something wrong.
First off these are my parts:
-AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX
-GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
-Patriot Viper 3 Low Profile Red 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory Model
-Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-1000 1000W Continuous @40°C,80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
-SAPPHIRE 100364-4GL Radeon R9 270X 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card
-Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
-LG Black 14X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 5X DVD-RAM 12X BD-ROM 4MB Cache SATA BDXL
I am pretty sure that these parts are all compatible with each other. But now I am second guessing myself.
The first time I put the mobo, cpu, gpu, pcu, and memory together the fans would spin up and stop right away. I narrowed the problem down to being either the mobo or the cpu. I RMA both of them and apparently both we defective so they shipped me new ones. This time I only connected the cpu, pcu and gpu to the mobo and there was a small spark then it started to smoke. I shut off the power right away and looked at the area that sparked but I don't see anything wrong. I connected the cpu, pcu, and gpu to the motherboard and tried turning it on once more but this time nothing happened.
I am pretty sure that I fried my mobo but I am not sure if it is my fault or not. I don't know what is going on. I was following this video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls
