Alright, so I got a psu to replace the my old one that had just died. I plugged it all in and started up the computer (I plugged each component in one by one, starting with the video card.) I finished with the video card, the mobo, and the hard drives, so I just started plugging in all my fans. At one point there was a 3 pin plug that said SYS FAN 1, so I plugged a 4 pin power connector into it thinking that was where the power went for the fans (I was/still am very tired).
Anyway, I turned on the computer, and that SYS FAN 1 spot started to spark and smoke. So now, whenever I try to turn the computer on, it continuously loops through turning on (like it will go on for .5 seconds, and all the lights will stay on, and then a burst of electricity will go it every .5 seconds like its turning on again).
I know I am not that good at explaining, but if anyone is understanding this or is willing to give it a try, then please do not hesitate to ask any questions.
Thanks.
