Hello everyone. I have been building PCs for a while now but for the first time, I have gotten something that might have royally screwed up my system. I built a new system, contents listed below, and upon booting it for the first time, a noticed a spark that caused some burning plastic smell. As soon as the spark happened, the CPU water cooler failed to work and both hard drives failed to be recognized by the system. The motherboard is still working, still detects all case fans and processor and RAM, still, powers on and still recognizes the correct booting parameters. Judging by the lack of LED in the CPU water cooler, I see that it has shorted out, however, I am unsure of what caused both hard drives from being unidentified by the motherboard. I am not sure what else was shorted out other than the CPU cooler. I am not sure what I need to look for or what the next steps are to take without spending an arm and a leg.
