I just received an ABIT BD7-II Mobo, 1.8a, and Corsair XMS 2700 RAM... when I completed the installation and hooked the power supply up, I was greeted by a nice lil' green LED. Once I powered up however, there was a sputtering sound from one of the fans, and it powered down. I checked all the power supply connections and then tried again, same results. I noticed all of the chips around the area of the power supply were hot , as well as the heat spreader on the Corsair. Also it smoked a small amount from what seemed to be where the power supply connected to the motherboard. The second black chip from the power supply connector seems to be pushed sideways, towards what look to be a bank of 4 resistors.
If anyone has any ideas what the issue could be, please let me know if any additional information is needed. Also, will I be able to RMA the set?
Thanks
