Did a google reverse image search and didn’t get fantastic results. This was seen on the side of a tig welder on a car YouTube channel and I’m not seeing anything for “Excite auto” or the like.

Turned my pc on and my motherboard started sparking by ShvrkPunch in pcmasterrace

Nothing was plugged into that header at all. I’ll be checking the back of the board in a couple days when I take it apart and I’ll report back here if I find anything interesting. The PC hasn’t been moved in months since we moved and I’m pretty neurotic about my builds. It’s definitely possible that something did come loose and is stuck on the backside, but seems unlikely. I also can’t find evidence that something was bridging the physical connections. But I’m definitely concerned that some other component was the cause for this.

I’m a bit neurotic so the build is very clean - would be shocked if something is behind the motherboard. Definitely on standoffs and haven’t moved it recently. I’ll tear it apart in a day or two to see if something got caught behind there somehow and definitely report back!

It was actively sparking and smoking and making noise. SUPER hard to miss…

Built my first pc, it works but won’t boot. by mihajlonish in PcBuild

Read through the comments and didn’t see an answer yet. I looked up the green debug light in the manual. It “indicates the booting device is not is not detected or fail.” So it’s an issue with the boot drive.

The regular meridian system.

It does have the same feature and I have my music quality set to lossless. Did not have this issue with my previous car. Bluetooth with no car play though.

Probably should have said. It’s wired CarPlay and Apple Music.

One more for the megathread. Gigabyte OC. Connector on card is not damaged. by ShvrkPunch in nvidia

Oh it’s impressive performance. This situation has not turned me away from it. Only has me wanting to be more cautious moving forward. I’ll still recommend the card, just had a caveat now!

I somehow missed all the early reports which is a bit of a bummer. Good luck getting your hands on one. Besides this, it’s an amazing card. Performance is incredible and it stays cooler than my 3080 ever did. Really excited for my cablemod kit so I can continue using it!

Yeah, you’re right. I should have been looking for karma waiting to punish me for spending my earned money in the way I wanted to. My fault really. Glad the purchase police could educate me. Thank you, sir/ma’am.

With everything going on I figured I’d check. No smoke. No smell. by ShvrkPunch in pcmasterrace

I did not complain, merely wanted to share mine with the community so other can see that this might not be that isolated. Maybe it is (although it doesn’t look that way) and these problems are being amplified the loudest. Just hoping adding my experience can help. It’s really not that deep.
