Allright, been gone from home 4 days.

tried turning on the computer, nothing happens.

Opened the cabinet and tried turning on the computer again.

cabinet fans turns on same with gpu fans.
Cpu fan turns on briefly.

No picture on the monitor, num lock doesn't light up.
No beeps from the motherboard.

Tried removing the ram and seeing if if the motherboard beeps, it doesn't.

Thinking the motherboard is dead.

anyone have any ideas?

Same issue with my dads computer.
Keep retrying 100+ times and it will eventually turn on. Once it's on, it'll work fine as long as you don't turn off / reboot.

I hate you.

Any weather conditions such as thunder during those past 4 days? Or just a sudden power outage?

Is the PSU alright? I don't know how it works on newer models but I know you could stick a pin in some older models and perform a sort of self check though if the fans are spinning then power is being delivered, checking all the cable connections could be helpful but most PSU's have these snap connectors so they're pretty firmly in place one attached.

Which would leave the motherboard, if it's not the CMOS or well bios it could be a fuse or any other number of conditions which if it doesn't beep for error codes without having components such as RAM installed that does sound like it could be the problem.


But I'm not too good with the actual hardware and troubleshooting them, at most this is just some few basic suggestions. Smile

Visually, no indication.

I seem to recall that there should be a LED lighting on when the machine is running.

But I can't see it now and find it mentioned in the manuel to the board.

I will by a new psu and test it.

Gooood news everybody!

Changing the psu worked! everything is back to normal.

the bad news is that now I have no reason to upgrade the setup, so the ryzen build will wait...

Sure, But the system is beginning to struggle because of the 2 gigs of ram on the gfx card.

I'm looking into buying a used gtx980.. haven't found one at the right price yet. Will be easier when the vega chipset hits.

I would not get GTX 980 this day, 4GB VRAM is too low aswell, look for 980Ti, absolutely best bang for buck you can get, you can get them so cheap now.
