My Asus P5k Deluxe Wifi motherboard bursting into flames when I turn my PC on, along with nasty toxic smoke that took a day to clear from the room fully.

  • Try logging a fault direct with Asus, thats what I did, it might take a bit of time but I think they take bursting in to flames quite seriously as a the head of their UK support got back to me. They replaced mine with an upgraded model free of charge :)

  • My Asus P8P67 caught on fire yesterday, going to have to take it back and get it replaced :( It caught on fire near the RAM slots and wasn't long after I pressed the MEM-OK button, because the red light was on!

  • @games4850 Try dropping Asus a support ticket, it took them a week or two but they got back to me. They we're pretty good and gave me an upgrade as a replacement.

  • OMG, my Asus P5K Deluxe also burst into fire today in the exact same place!!! Same toxic smoke.

  • @ausage3 yep sounds like they have a fault with boards around the voltage regulation circuits and components

  • could be due to a bad power supply

  • should throw water on it then restart computer and it should be fine

  • Computer smoke, dont breathe it.

  • Oh god i have a P5k delux wifi lol.... guess im looking at a new comp soon and now i dont feel safe leaving it on unattended actually. Damn asus, i had confidence in you.

  • have you heard about cable management?

  • no wonder it caught fire, look at the cluster f u ck of wiring you have behind the area catching fire. lol

  • You suppose to unplug the water cooling tube and then spary water at the fire spot.

  • Problem fixed yet?

  • This happened to my P8P67 last week. Newegg would not take it. Said it was "user damage." All I did was boot up my computer after I had just got it built 12 hrs earlier.. I doubt ASUS will take it back either. :(
