In all fairness it looks to me like the fire started at the bottom of the board where he had ancient flopply cables dangling which prolly shorted accross some 12...or even a 12 and -12 giving 24... Who knows. But It definity does'nt look like it was'nt a cap that blew.

Just look at the pics how melted the bottom PCI slot is relative to others..meaning it burned longer..meaning fire orginated thereabouts all those pins are also located there to short.

What boggles my mind is that it had to burn through 25% of your motherboard and cards before you realized something was wrong. :shocked:

Intel NetBurst Burst?

I don't trust MSI but this is a new one! There is not much I have not seen an MSI board do but NeVER seen an MSI do this! That is even worse than some of the Mishaps on Johnny Guru's site!!

if you look at the last pic with the PCI slots show, you can see the hottest point is around the edge of the motherboard. This is the likely source of the problem. Without knowing what was there, i can safely say, that something was obviously drawing too much current, or rather, something caused an overcurrent to occur.
