Hi guys,
I registered just to ask cause I'm freaking out.
I bought a Z77 Extreme 6 off Newegg, it got here Thursday, I swapped my old one out Friday night. It ran fine all night and the next morning. I was watching TV on the couch and I noticed a distinct burning smell coming from my desk region. Went and looked and took it apart, took a while to realize theres scorch or burn on the edge. Computer shut off and won't post to bios even. The board simply won't boot. The cpu fan spins for a second or two, kills and the board stays silent.
I've got a email out to support hoping I can get a replacement from warranty, but why would this happen? It's just north of the cpu on the edge of the board, like crossing one of the little white highways. I dunno if the pic illustrates it well enough. But, assuming I do get a manufacturers warranty replacement, what the heck should I be worried would have caused this?
Intel dual core cpu, Visiontek 6950 1gb, 8gb ram, 500gb sata hdd, mouse/keyboard, monitor, 850w gold rated power supply. It's the same setup I used on my last asus board, I just wanted usb 3 and another pci-e slot, which I hadn't even used yet.
