Hello,

Any one have any idea what the component in the picture is? My dell would not power on or give any flashing lights indicators after plugging the power supply back into the mother board. It was making a funny sound and when trying to identify where he sound was coming from the component in the picture popped and a piece from the center came flying off along with a tiny bit of smoke and burn smell.  Is it the GPU. Is the whole motherboard dead? Im using a PCI-e video card do I dont mind if the on board video card fried but am also afraid to plug everything back in before find out what that component was and what might be the problem as i dont want to burn out anything else. My dell is a precision 3620 tower.

Any help is much appreciated!
