You should describe your problem more, it's hard to say anything from "it catched on fire"

i posted this in the discussion bit :

i recently bought a new motherboard and installed ram, cpu, heatsink and psu. when i powered the motherboard up it quickly started flaming and smoking soi turned it off.

ive tried the psu on another motherboard and its seems to be fine.

i was wondering if anyone knows why this might have happened.

specs:

corsair dominator 2 x4gbcorsair cx600 psuasus sabertooth 990fxamd phenom ii x2
