tech support Motherboard + other components may be fried

I was just playing games as usual, then my pc suddenly turned off. Initially it would not boot, not even the keyboard and mouse are lit, which they usually are when pc is off. PSU made these rather high pitched clicking noised when turned off and on. When it did decide to boot, sparks came from the VRM so I immediately turned off the power supply to avoid further damage. Now there's a burnt smell coming from the mobo. I don't know what I should do now. I just tested my PSU with the PSU tester it came with, the fans still spin and one of my LED fans still lights up. My pc had a history of rebooting mid-use, however it usually did not involve it completely shutting down and burnt smell. A similar situation did occur before, but only once, that was with my old PSU, which was the cause of the reboots, as now with the new PSU the reboots have stopped.My specs are:
FX 9590
ASROCK 990FX EXTREME9
H100iGTX
EVGA 850G2 Supernova
Gigabyte GTX970 Windforce

If sparks came from your mobo then the vrm likely failed and that's probably a dead board.  You could remove the vrm heatsink and see if the board has burn marks.

my question is, is that PSU even qualify for the amount of power the 9590 sucks. Can the rails support it?

Ik thats a high quality PSU

What tools would I need to remove it, those do not look like Philiphead screws. Also, should I try booting it up again, or will i risk frying my other components.

If it's not a philips head screw then it is probably a torques head screw.

Update: removed basically everything from mobo. It booted up, no sparks. Got error 10 and C5 a couple of times, finally posted after reseating RAM.

It might be, but I'm not sure. Please see the attached image, sorry for the low quality.

The actual screws are on the back of the motherboard.
