So I put together a new build from parts I got at NCIX. I hit the power button and I hear a click and see the case fans and CPU fans move for .5 seconds. Try a few more times same thing. I reseat the ram and do a few more things butt nothing changed. I try again one last time and smell something burning and see smoke coming out of the PSU.

I grab a PSU from anoth comp and install it. I hold down the power button and all fans start to spin except for the video car one. As soon as I let of everything stops.

Now what should I do? I know the PSU is fried and have to sent back but what about the motherboard and the other components? are they fried? Will they be covered under warranty?
