Hi I could really use some advice. Yesterday I finally put together my first gaming build however the graphics card does not arrive until tomorrow so once I wired everything up I figured ok I'm going to check to see if it turns on etc. I turned it on and then there was a funny smell and the instant I saw smoke I unplugged it.
I have a 8350fx amd cpu and asus sabertooth r2.0 mobo 16gb of gskill ram a corsair h60 watercooler and an Antec 750w platinum modular power supply.
Since the smoke the computer still turns on and then the only lights that indicate any problems on my mobo are the vga lights which makes sense since I don't have a graphics card installed but also the boot device led remains red. Is this because I have not installed on OS or because there is no graphics card plugged in. Or did the smoke mean I damaged something and at this point I will need to RMA a component. Which I really really don't want to do because I only have two weeks of fun before my summer classes start.
Thank you in advance for anyone who took the time to help.
