pc just went off, advice please

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 14:59

My pc in sig just went down while gaming and wont cone back on.

The psu is making a weird noise and no fans or heat sink is coming on but gpu is spinning up.

Thinking its psu popped its a cosair cx750 but have no spare to test that theory.
Weird gpu is spinning up when nothing else is altho is not got signal.

What would you do/get

Thanks in advance

another psu...

porushinobu · 15 Jan 2015 at 15:02

do you have any spare components,
could be PSU or Mobo.
but if the PSU is making weird noises, my money would be on your PSU

Ok so plugged in a old psu I had (my only spare part) and it appears to be dead now.
Plugged back in the other psu and dead too.

So new psu and mobo? Chances cpu or anything else dead too?

Cos if they were I may aswell invest in better ones.

Where do I stand with corsair if a under 1yo psu took out my pc?

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 15:43

Would I do the jumper trick to test psus ( never done it)

Is it dodgy to do?

tried clearing the cmos? leave out motherboard battery for ten minutes put back in and try old psu

Tried cmos will try battery now.

leave it out a good 10 minutes then put back in and try

can short the psu it wont hurt you,make sure you short the correct wires,but its still not a guarantee its working fully

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:19

Still dead :mad:

Going to order new mobo and psu, wont ever skrimp on psu again.

Want a suoerflower psu but mobo I want is a lot more expensive on here and so is postage.

What other makes are good psus? Where I will order doesn't stock superflower.

wazza300 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:20

seasonic are rated #1

I would rma the board and cpu aswell,they are still in warranty

if I were you id order psu first and try it on your board/cpu,if still no joy then order another board/cpu and rma old ones

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:29

Thank will go for a seasonic.

Gives me a good excuse to get a mobo and psu for sli, seriously could have done without it right now tho.

Pray the cpu ok.

wazza300 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:31

yh,cpu might work in new board

you can sell the rma'd board

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:43

Ok so going yo order through here now.
Any thoughts on: Msi kriat z97 mobo and superflower 750 or 850w, reading cables are really short. Might now work in nzxt phantom 530 case?

Yeh getting really sick of rma stuff, got a 280x away just now aswell.
Remember the days when stiff was built to last ( old man)

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 16:52

Be better with b-grade seasonic psu. 1250w for same price.
Not sure of b grades psus tho.

wazza300 · 15 Jan 2015 at 17:03

its upto you,might aswell get new? though b grade will still have a warranty

for boards I would pick asus or gigabyte tbh

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 17:13

Ok so last few questions lol, thanks by the way.

Superflower 750w be ok for most sli or xfire in future you reckon?

Only wanted mobo cos of black and white ( sad I know).

markoboyo11 · 15 Jan 2015 at 17:14

250 quid I didn't have to spend this morning :-(

wazza300 · 15 Jan 2015 at 17:16

sli 970's? yh should be plenty

pigeonguyuk · 15 Jan 2015 at 17:42

Superflower PSU are a great job.
I would agree the cables are short. I have the NZXT 810 Switch Case. It was touch and go for the mobo power connectors on my ROG z97 formula board

i would futureproof and go 850+ gold/platinum for sli/xfire

Without derailing the thread, please can you let me know how you found this out? Just curious and it's good to know

Thanks

My guess is that you based it on release date of components?
