First of all, thank you for reading this
This is my first time build, so bear with me.
I assembled my new pc, but forgot to put the standoffs on. As I turn it on for the first time, it immediately turned off, then on, then off, so I turned off and unplugged the PSU. There was also a faint smell from the under the mobo. D:
So, next, I removed all the parts, then assembled them again outside the case(Mobo, CPU, Stock Cooler, GPU, all connected to PSU), but it turns on only for a second, but then turns itself off(lights and fans spin for at bit). No smell this time... *Have I completely ruined everything or just the motherboard?* :'(
Please help if you can and yes, it's ok to insult my inexperience.
Spec's:
Corsair Graphite 380T case
i5-4690K MSI Z97I AC
ASUS GeForce GTX 970 Strix - 4GB GDDR5
Kingston HyperX Savage DDR3-2400 DC 8G
Corsair RM650i Gold - 650W PSU
Kingston HyperX Fury SSD - 240GB
