The title says what happened. I was just browsing my facebook when suddenly my computer started spinning all fans at max RPM including my case fans and the picture on the screen went black. I was panicking and quickly started unplugging the tower from power when I smelt burning PCBs. I looked inside the case and the MOTHERBOARD WAS ON FIRE! It started smoking and I saw a little flame but it managed to extinguish itself. The burn is near one of the PCIe slots.

 

I am stressed and curious what happened. BTW it wasn't my main computer that was on fire, it was just one I built for everyday use like youtube and some email

 

Can someone please help?

 

EDIT: It also no longer turns on
