Little yellow fire , not good. RMA or get it rechecked at the Service center....

had some chance that mercury?maybe PSU problem?

 

[alyoshka]

Mercury??? The mobo manufacturer? or did you spill mercury on the board?

 

[Dusan19]

mobo is asus m3a amd athlon x2,I thought I gave a chance that work propertly or no chance?

See, actually all we know is you saw a 'Yellow Little fire' where, in which part, was it just a reflection from somewhere else or some other part on the mobo we don't know.
So it would not be right to tell you to buy a new mobo or a new anything else. But since english is a problem for you, it would also take us a lot of time to get the point across to you or you to us.
What I can suggest is, remove the graphics card and connect the monitor to the onboard VGA output and try to switch it on. but your mobo doesn't have an onboard VGA, so that option is out.
You could try using another GPU if you have an older one lying about to see if the rig works.
But it's a risk...... might spoil a perfectly good GPU.
If you could post pics of the areas where you saw the spark (yellow Fire) on the mobo top view and bottom view , we could help you out a little more.

WOW... looks like a crows nest.......
Forget the burning yellow fires...... call this a BIOHAZARD.....

 

[alyoshka]

Yup, your boards gone..... you need a new mobo..... salvage operations not going to go too well.
I could tell you looking at the state of the board, that if you took it to a very skilled technician, who was good at soldering , he could manage to bypass the short that is being caused by the CU strip heating over and out of the board.
Not too difficult.
BUT.
You're very lucky that the whole rig didn't catch fire... looking at all the dust and fiber content in the rig.... it is in one big hell of a mess..... you had better start cleaning the new rig you get pretty much every month.... or one day, you could end up burning up the neighborhood.
