hi guys,

I live India. I purchased the EVGA 780i mobo from newegg.com last month. I dint use it until 3 days back (due to my exams). I assembled it and worked like a charm. After a day dont know what happened it wont boot at all. All i can see on the mobo is the blue led. When i removed the mobo power cord, i sensed a burning smell from the cord and the mobo socket. Also I heard 5 - 6 high pitch clicks after which I shut off the power immediately. My system specs are stated in my sig. What do you gust think? Problem with mobo / psu? Did I get a bad board from newegg? PLs guys help me out.
 
never mind. it works fine now. Just removed the battry on the mobo and kept it aside for 5 mins which reset the bios. There was a BIOS voltage problem, probably due to my overclocks on CPU GSB and memory.
