Are you sure it didn't come form the power source? They are more likely to smoke. If it was your CPU, you will have to RMA that and your motherboard and most likely your PSU. Sucks man. Sorry to hear that.

when i turned it on (with the speakers on) it goes system error check cpu so im guessin the smoke came from the cpu. Is there a reason for this happening do you know?

If you got the system error message, after the smoke, I would guess the smoke didn't come from the cpu.

Sound like you got the new "Huron" CPU. Count the puffs of smoke. 1 puff = reseat memory, 2 puffs = Video card problem, 3 puffs = HELP!!!!!!!Your CPU is melting!

4 puffs = I'm Rastifarian.

A hot tub full of puffs = Eden.

I think the guy needs some more constructive help rather than all these nonsense.

Thread poster, try this. Pour a pail of water over your CPU, then on your computer. make sure the power supply is plugged in.
