Spark from mb usb c, HELP!

[Malachi Groves]

So i did a dry run for a x570 board with a ryzen 5 3600x and 16 gb’s of ram. After power on it sparked from the usb c port in the rear io and didn't post, after i turned the power off it continued to spark until removing the cable. Help

There's a good chance something got damaged. Stop using the port immediately, and test the board without it. See if it boots, if not, you need to RMA it. Never continue to use a product if it sparks (unless it's designed to under normal operation).
