Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to building PCs, and yesterday I was working on one. It was running fine at first, but then I noticed the RGB for the front fans wasn't connected properly. I powered it down to fix that, but when I turned it back on, there was a spark from the bottom fans and a blue light, then it shut off completely. Now, I can't get it to boot—just a red light flashes under the motherboard. I recently got an open box Aorus Elite AX motherboard from Newegg and replaced my power supply with a new one from Sama. My GPU was a used purchase but was functioning properly before this incident.

It sounds like something shorted when you were connecting the RGB fan. Double-check that you plugged it into the correct header on the motherboard. What motherboard and fans are you using? If you could upload a pic of the fan connector and how it's connected to the motherboard, that would really help us figure this out!
