Been two days into troubleshooting that my PC doesn't want to power up, I turn the PC on and about 1 short second it goes off again. I have added new parts:
When it does that it goes on than off I do notice that the CPU red LED light comes on then off, same with the ram sticks and at times red lED does come on but when sticks still in it doesn't. The thermal past is working and in place. I did try it with card discounted and still nothing. Clearing Cmos and added a new battery and still nothing. The case fans are connected to the Corsair commander. When I turn it on the fans do move but after a second it stops as there is no power.
I did have a 1200W PSU that's 5 years old, I have done the paperclip method and it comes on for less than a second with a click then off. So I brought RM850x PSU and it works and tested. I received it today.
Beforehand It was running fine with the GTX 680. And not to mention that before when I turn the pc on (before the upgraded hardware), it starts up for one second then it goes off (with a click) then one or two seconds later it powers up to life and loads to windows as normal.
I thought my old PSU is dead but when I test it over it just doesn't want to run, yet my new PSU does. Anyway new PSU connected to the motherboard and it goes on then less then a sec goes off
However, when PSU is connected to fans and lights and using the paperclip into green and black it runs. As soon as It's in the motherboard it plays up and doesn't run.. just doesn't want to power up.
I added and removed many parts of the hardware and nothing. I clear the Cmos countless times and nothing
PS My motherboard has been in storage for the last two months and it got cold.. No idea if that upset it??
- Corsair Commander with three fans and RGB Lighting Controller, with RGB lights.
