[SOLVED] Sparks from the Motherboard

[Robert1984]

Hello everyone, one day I was playing on the PC and suddenly the computer stopped, I tried to restart it and the spark jumped from the motherboard. I changed the motherboard, and again the same thing, it just started a little but, the monitor and keyboard did not started, then it stopped just like before, I tried to turn it on again and also, the spark jumped from the new motherboard. I ordered a new motherboard and a power supply again. The same thing again, what could I do, or from what is it?

Hook everything up outside of the case first - set the motherboard on it's box, do not put the plastic back under it - and bench test it outside of the case first. Then put in the case and be careful of the standoffs.

Also: what PSU's are you using? brand/model
