haha i almost did the same mistake yesterday, if i think I know what your saying. I had my CPU plugged in and running, and almost put my GPU in the riser with it running. Just make sure everything is off, and your fine.

Ah that makes sense my PC was on I plugged it in fans started spinning plug power in and the bottom was on fire[DOUBLEPOST=1514999376][/DOUBLEPOST]

If it caught on fire? I doubt it, well it depends on the damage.
Can you send a picture of it?

No damage. looks the exact same as before. Not one burn mark

It should be fine. If it lights on fire again then pour a pound of thermal paste on it.

Yea I highly suggest not working on your pc when its on, or even plugged in. You could risk shock or even a fire (like what happend).
