Hi All,

System spec, Intel 4670k, Corsair 8gb drr3 low profile, msi r7950 3gb twin frozr, Ssd Corsair 120gb force gt, 2 hdd's I think Samsung, Corsair h90 cooler AIO

My previous MB Gigabyte z87n wifi - problems won't boot, tried two different psu's, removed ram, removed gpu, removed cpu, no fans spin nothing what so ever. If you leave the power cable unplugged for serveral hours, plug it back again it will boot fine, but if you shut down, it will not power up what so ever, no fans spin, nothing

So I thought I would upgrade to a Atx board, same rig, new mb Asus z97 pro.

Now I am getting the same issue again with my new Mb. The new mb does the check with lights all over the board once I finally get it too boot that is, it sounds a odd problem but I'm seriously stuck with what's causing this problem

If anybody can help as I'm pulling my hair out and a slight rage is building


Cheers again

what model hdd's?

tried booting with no ssd/hdd attached? see if it boots straight up and displays the splash screen

there are issues with older f3/f2/f1 Samsung hdd's and older sandforce controlled ssd's so test without them attached just to rule them out
 
Going to try a different cpu tomorrow as I don't have another 1150 socket cpu, but a friend of mine does.

I tried it without the hdd plugged in and removed power from them, still the same. Didn't unplug Ssd though but will try that next

Any other suggestions?
 
can build outside the case on wooden or cardboard surface just to rule out a short circuit

cant think whatelse it could be
 
How did the problem start? Was it there from new or just recently come about? If so was it after you installed some new hardware or software?
 
tried testing by swapping the front panel power and reset wires over? so that you start the board with the reset button

(just incase you have a faulty front panel power button)

also tested with igpu and no graphic card and just one ram stick installed
 
Hi, i have tried most of the suggestions above, I have a different case as well, so cant be the power button itself, the problem started above 2 months ago, i had bent cpu pins in my old gigabyte board, so must have caused damage to the cpu over time, the gigabyte board must have had weak pins or a over tightened cpu cooler, however i think it was weak pins or a manufacturing defect, as a few of the pins were missing.

I have changed power supply cable same effect

Tried a whole different set of ram same effect
