Ok I've already started a thread once but that was a few days ago so I thought i'd start fresh. Long story short my machine stopped starting up a few weeks ago and since then I've done the following:
I've been doing all this without any HDDs in and without a graphics card in and one fan plugged in, the lights on the motherboard light up when theres power going into it but the fans wont spin up at all. I'm getting very very frustrated with this whole thing now and I don't know what else could be wrong.
Specs:
Corsair HX 650W PSU
Intel i5 2500K (SandyBridge) CPU - Replaced with intel Celeron G1610 2.7GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Asus P8P67 Mobo - Replaced with P8Z77-V
HD 7970 VAPOR-X GHZ 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (CML8GX3M2B1600C11)
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD250BW)
- Replaced motherboard
- Done paperclip test on PSU and the fan started up fine.
- Ran with motherboard out of case to check for shorting and still got nothing
- Tried using screwdriver on power pins on the motherboard to rule out a faulty power button
- Removed CMOS for 15 minutes, put it back and still got nothing
- Tried using one stick of RAM in each slot one at a time
- Used spare memory and did same
- Replaced CPU
- Moved the whole thing to new case and did everything above.
