Dead motherboard?

ash13yw · 15 May 2016 at 18:24

I have bought a new psu which I connected up fine and everything worked ok but after about 10 seconds the pc shut down and it has not powered on since. I have tried putting the old psu back in but still nothing happens when I press the power button.

I think it may be the motherboard but I wanted to get a second opinion before replacing it or to see if there is anything else I can try.

Why did u buy a new psu, did the computer have any problems before the new psu was installed ?

No the psu seemed fine. The reason I upgraded was the fact that there was a lot of extra cables that went unused so I wanted to upgrade to a modular psu.

Check all the cables are in correctly, seems a bit strange that just changing your psu would break your motherboard.

Any fans spinning ? What psu is it ?

No, none of the fans are spinning. The new one is a corsair rm750x, the old one is a corsair cx750

You could build the basic components out of the case before you get a new motherboard, mite be worth a try.

What cpu and motherboard you got ?

Make sure nothing is shorting it, loose screw etc or anything that may be contacting with the motherboard.

I have just tried with the motherboard, psu, cpu and ram outside of the case with the old psu but nothing happened still.

Motherboard is an asus z87-k, cpu is i5 4670k

When did you purchase the motherboard is it under warranty ?

Is it overclocked? Try a cmos reset.

I bought it 3 years ago so I believe the warranty has ran out.

I have also tried a close reset but that doesn't work either

Oh well new motherboard , the Gigabyte Z97-D3H is a good budget board.

ash13yw · 16 May 2016 at 21:57

Oh well, thanks for the help guys

Tried a different wall socket?

New kettle lead? (incase you are using the old one with the new psu, fuse may have gone)

Switch on the psu? (it has happened before.

)

Did you use any of the same Psu cables? When I went from an hx1050 to a rm1000 I am sure I read somewhere that the cables are incompatible
