Modern PSUs dont have the switch for US/EU. I think they handle it internally. Did you connect the right power connectors to your MoBo? If you have a modern mobo you likely have (20+4)pins +4pins(+4pins) as power connectors. The (20+4)pins are the large main powerconnector for the Mobo you cant put them in a wrong way in the slot because they wont fit. Normaly that is the case for all the power connectors... If the 24pin connector is alright maybe you put the wrong 4pin in the 2nd MoBo power slot or you put the 4pin in the false slot... modern MoBos have 24+8 but most only use 24+4 if you put the 4pin connector into the wrong 4pin slots... I dunno maybe it could fry things? Or you put a wrong power connector into the GPU (they are usually 2x6pin)?
If that is not the case... the PSU was faulty and you should get your money back.
There is no EU/US switch on those. Did you buy a new chassie aswell? If so did you put the distances in first, before you screwed the motherboard there?
Aren't those normaly pre-installed? And I think you cant install the MoBo without the distance pins (it shouldn't fit).
@tenhi
Yeah, it was a 24 pin main power, (it had detachable 4 pin for 20pin but i left it on) Used the 4 pin for cpu power and 2 6pins for the GPU. followed all instructions correctly, double checked all wires, and used proper stand offs. The onlything I was unsure about was the reset switch header but didnt even push the reset button. I honestly can't think of anything else I could have done for this to happen.
I hit the power button it lit up, then wife said she saw smoke so i unplugged it and saw the damage. I think I will remember this smell for 10 years.
I didnt want to wait to see if the monitor was going to start showing the bios.
Also was small scortch marks on the connector to the pcie card.
I recently spent about 800 dollars on a whole new pc (parts from newegg).
I completed it last night and when I turned it on it started to smoke and smelled terrible so I unplugged it as fast as I could.
I talked to a man at geeksquad and he said that what probably happened was the PSU sent a surge and fried everything and that It would be a waste of money for them to look at it because newegg should take it back.
The only thing I can think I did wrong was maybe the reset switch header was in wrong, but he said that shouldnt matter.
Anyone know what might have happened? newegg said they would refund my money on everything but the MOBO, Graphics card, and the PSU.

Jay said that no gear would be bind on pickup except for quest items.
He also said that GEAR AT LEVEL 85 OR HIGHER is going to be bind on equip.
That was the point of my post. The OP said that in DnD (like wow's loot system) the high end stuff is bop.
Now just accept the fact you are wrong or I'll report you for trolling.
Because I'm not trolling, I'm preventing this thread taking a wrong turn because somebody does not now a certain something works. Again.
I don't know how someone can say there not trolling when they have to say a sarcastic remark to someone just because they post in a thread by trying to answer a question (90% of all your recent comments are either Troll remarks or flaming someone because you think you are smarter than them).
I don't have 1900 post counts but I do read quite a bit on here since before Blizzard even bought out Diablo3.com seems like you have a problem with everyone and If you hate everyone here so bad for asking questions in a Diablo community about Diablo why do you even stick around?
That's all I have to say and sorry to the OP for taking his thread off topic.
Wilson: We have no “Soulbound” or bind-on-pickup, except for quest items. We do have bind-on-equip for the highest end items in the game. We targeted, roughly, any item above level 85. These we will do as bind-on-equip. The reason for this is that we want people to be able to trade them, but we also want to remove the high-end items from the economy. One of the greatest ways that you can do that is with bind-on-equip. What we don’t want is to have a situation where you find something on the ground like, “Oh, man. This would be a perfect weapon for my Monk. Oh, but I just picked it up and now it’s on the wrong character.” We don’t want that at all. Most of our focus on Diablo is as a trading game. So, if you take trading out of the item space, you ruin the core of the game. Finding a really great item that is not for you is still a great event because it means you have a bartering tool to get the item that you do want. We definitely want to make sure that that still exists.
This is the exact reason why I want to even stop lurking around here.

for those who are positive the fifth class is a ranged weapon specialist, how might blizzard avoid falling into pitfalls like the guided and multi arrow that they had to nerf eventually anyways? any creative ideas for ranged weapon skills that could really instill some new life into an arguably archaic rpg staple
Not sure, probably why they haven't release anything yet.
I never liked Mercs in d2 just because it was so much work getting them strong and pretty much strictly for pve (as I was a pvp player). Not to mention the 50k rez fee.
If they made them slightly easier to level up and easier to rez I would be in favor.
As for as PvE I say 5, one for each class and on more of a personal note, i have a lot of friends who are going to be playing so I would like to play with as many as I could.
But as for PvP I would say 6 or 8 because 1v1 and 2v2 is fun but back in d2 days, those 4v4 we're so fun.
I've heard some pretty "out there" ideas for the 5th class, but boy does this take the cake! :mage:
Yeah because I'm sure that they took the time to draw it in, put it on random drops, and animations just so the barb could pick it up and shoot at beer bottles; you're right, im sure the 5th class will be a Druid/basketball player or something.
I poured so much scorn, so much insincerity, dredged up from the depths of animus pooling in the darkest crevasses of my soul, into this sarcastic attack of a post. Yet, you took it at face value, you stared the very face of passive-aggression in the eye and accept the hate filled words into your bosom as a truth, the very picture of the blessed christ-like fool. In one motion I applaud your rare messianic sincerity and weep for a world that could breed such simplicity, whether these tears are mournful or celebratory I will let your unworldly soul divine. :sorcerer:
Greetings omniscient one, it is I who in such simplicity weep at a world of men, men who can pour scorn and insincerity to a humble, and innocent bystander. To be underneath such a messiah as yourself, and to be ridiculed is an honor, As I can only look at it with great humor and project my sarcasm upon him for it only amuses myself with great success. But alas, what eludes my simple mind, is that after 20 minutes of "KQKYLE" in this thread, this is all he produced with his conceited brain.

I recently spent about 800 dollars on a whole new pc (parts from newegg).
I completed it last night and when I turned it on it started to smoke and smelled terrible so I unplugged it as fast as I could.
I built my last pc with no problems (albeit was 3-4 years ago) Here is a picture of what my mobo looks like, also burn marks on the pci-e power cable (thinking all both fried).

I had a couple questions.
1. Are there any rewards to the contest winners?
2. What is the proper way to submit a picture (I assume here)
Thanks Scyber

That was the point of my post. The OP said that in DnD (like wow's loot system) the high end stuff is bop.
I posted 1 (not ranting on) post, that said all the (high end) gear is going to be BoE and you had to say something sarcastic.

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS
Please read the highlighted sentence.
I would like to request you stop trolling/flaming every thread in dfans.
THANKS
Also, in reply to the OP. He said all the top end uber gear binds to your character, from what he said that sounds like Bind on Pickup.
I was saying that all the high end gear is going to be boe.
I will assume you knew I didnt honestly thing items like "short bow" were going to be BoE use some common sense.
