I was building my first pc, and I started getting a little confused while putting wires in the correct places. Specifically the the power switch and reset switch. I places them on the pins vertically rather than horizontally. I was having trouble placing the headers in the right place, so I placed them in places that looked correct, thinking "what could go wrong?". (Very bad idea...) I do not remember if I used the pci-e cord for the cpu. I'm very sure that I didn't, but I could have. But when I turned on my pc to test it, My computer turned on for half a second, then shut off. Then a small amount of smoked came out from the top of my case. It looked like it was coming from my CPU.
I was scared so I flipped the power switch off from my psu. Then unplugged it from power. 10 minutes later I unplugged everything from the motherboard, and put everything in the correct spots. (I made sure of it). I turned on my pc again, and everything was running. All fans were spinning, all lights were on, and the CPU cooler was spinning as well. But I got no display on my monitor.
I used hdmi from the video card, and got no signal. Then used hdmi from the motherboard, and got no signal. Then did the same using a dvi cable and got nothing! I even took out my video card, still no signal.
I made sure the ram was in the correct slot, all pins were placed securely, and everything was correct. I still got no signal. So was that smoke just my CPU being fried?? How do I know? Could I do something to make it work before actually sending it back?
