One of the power pins on your motherboard or mating lead is making a poor
connection and heating things up as a result.

As a result probably both the connector on the power supply and the motherboard
are likely trashed and the problem will continue until you replace both.

The solution is to replace the PSU and the ATX Motherboard connector at
the same time, to avoid a repetition of the problem. There is no pint
in using a new PSU if the ATX motherboard connector is burnt.
Conversely, there is no point in having the ATX Power connector of the
motherboard replaced, and continuing to use the old PSU. You really
have to change both connectors at the same time.
