As much as I loathe asking you guys what's wrong with my PC, I'm totally stuck and I have no idea how to fix it myself
So my situation is: I have 2 motherboards and 1 Hiper 580W PSU (which has not exploded).
One day, my Gigabyte P965 DS4 decided it didn't want to power up. I pressed the on button and nothing happened. So, "Maybe the power supply has died" I thought. I unplugged the board and shoved a paperclip into the 24pin plug and watched the thing come to life, absolutely fine.
Today, finally trying to remedy the situation and find out what's really wrong, I got out an Asus 965 P5B Deluxe, plugged it in and jumped the power switch header. Nothing except the blue standby light. I tried the DS4 again. Nothing.
Both boards are bare, nothing plugged in at all except the PSU. This has never caused an issue in the past as the PSU should start as normal, even though there's nothing but a motherboard there.
My question to you all is this: Is the PSU dead, or have both boards packed up? Or am I just missing something?
