Hi @libertymasilela
Check the motherboard inside the PC for any components that look damaged due to heat.
Post some images of the affected area in your question - here's how on ifixit Adding images to an existing question
Does the PC turn on OK etc? What symptoms are shown, e.g. no lights, nothing happens, turn s on but no display etc.
Was there a power failure just prior to the problem occurring in the PC?
More information from you will help to find out what's wrong.
