Computer not powering on - B560 11600k

Thoughts would be great.

My wife turned the computer on, fans spun up but wouldn't boot, this does occasionally happen, just have to wait until it hits the bios and have to reset the memory xmp settings and then it's fine again for months.

However this time my wife turned it off at the socket and it's not turned on since

.

Power button on case does nothing, tried the power header pins and again nothing.

Replaced the psu, still nothing.

Tried to power it on with just psu and motherboard, but no power again.

Plugged everything back in, cpu, ram etc and still nothing.

So I feel its the motherboard, but opinions would be great, don't really want to keep chasing a faulty part and b560 boards seem to be really hard to find new/second hand.

Cheers

Sounds like it was on it's way out anyway. Have you tried removing the BIOS battery and resetting the BIOS. You can check the motherboard with a multimeter for a short and if that's the case then it's time to give up.

Well it actually had done that since purchase, presumed it was a slight ram/mb mismatch. Kingston fury 3600mhz c17.

Let me try the battery.

Where would I take readings from?

Thanks ver01@

Pins 1,8,17,18 on the motherboard. If you get a continuity beep there is a short.

So I can test against any two of those pins on the 24pin socket? Cheers

It's a Gigabyte Aorus Pro AX

Ground (where the mounting screws are fixed) and these pins

Gotcha, thanks.

Only thing it does do is when you flick the psu switch, the lights very quickly flash on and off.

I'll go get a multimeter tonight.

Hank_Marvin · Monday at 20:28

Tested my psu and that reads well.

On the MB, on pin 8, some of the mount screws I'm getting a continuous beep, non of the other pins do, some one beep, some none.

What do you think?

Cheers

Not much else you can do now as even if you find the short it will be very difficult to repair.

New motherboard it seems, if still under warranty, Gigabyte, from past experience, been very good with sorting thing out.

Ok thanks chaps.

Bit of a pain picking up a B560, new or second hand so yeah I'll try, have a feeling the warranty has run out though.
