There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Show us a picture of the burnt PCB, and we may be able to tell you what caused the fire base on the source of ignition.

Sounds like an electrical short of some sort. Extender might be possible if it shorted multiple PCI-E lanes. You should be able to visually spot that kind of issue if you inspect the extender carefully. Otherwise I'd suspect moisture damage unless you were overvolting or it was regularly run very hot.

Flames mean a sealed component bursting, if you are dead set on playing with it I'd be doing it on a system I could afford to lose.

BTW, this is an example of where the "let out the magic smoke" joke came from in regards to dead computers and their components. Way back in the 80s and 90s the electrical components were more massive used more material so you could actually get some smoke spewing off shorted equipment.

I think you should try a third time at least! I totally agree. If your computer bursts into flames, a reboot should solve it. |

I just had a 5870 fan fail and it got hot enough to melt a capacitor and some stuff off, and was still mining. Didn't survive rebooting  |

Didn't survive rebooting haha i had a 5970 fan 'malfunction' and the card was mining at like 50mhash (1st gpu), 100mhash (2nd gpu). it hadn't completely failed, it was still spinning at 800rpm, which i guess might have saved me from total meltdown. the GPU temps were 105oC, 100oC... i don't even go into that room some days, good thing I was checking the miner stats I guess. noticed some funky 'invalid' shares appearing from that GPU haha |
