Avoid using PBO as a cause for sparks. As long as you only used PBO, it should work across any voltage because the CPU automatically adjusts its voltage based on available heat capacity. If sparks appear, look for charred spots where they occurred. The odor might linger briefly. Check nearby components to identify the source of smoke. Please refrain from opening the PSU—it still holds hazardous voltages even when unplugged. Good luck!

I attempted to restart it again, but smoke was escaping from the back of my motherboard.

Pretty sure this is a troll post, You havent listened or replied to any one reccomendation or question and you just seem keen to make it worse. Judging by your 3 solutions you will likley say you fixed it and mark that post as the solution in a couple days. Good luck.

Smoke from the rear side of the motherboard indicates a burnt component or a short circuit. Disconnect the power source and take the device to a repair facility. Attempting repairs could be dangerous and is not advisable.
