Recently my computer has not been booting but rather pulsing. As soon as the computer is plugged in and the psu it beings to click and if there is something plugged into a usb port, like the speakers or a mic, it's power light will flash on with the first click, go off, there will be a second click, then it will flash back on with the next click, repeat. Nothing else will power on when this is happening and it will continue to do this even if I press the power/reset button on the mobo or on the case.
I assumed this was an issue with the PSU and replaced it. with what I could afford at the moment. APEVIA WARLOCK POWER ATX-WA900W 900W ATX12V / EPS12V to SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91.
Once everything was plugged back in a ready to go the computer does the exact same thing, minus the clicking noise from the psu. However, now the lights will flash an additional few times eve after I unplug the PSU from the tower. Additionally it even flashed a couple times if I disconnected the USB plug from the mobo and plugged it back in.
Is the mobo dead or is there something I can do to remedy/troubleshoot this issue? If it is dead, what are my options for replacing the board without having to do a fresh install of windows, considering I bought an OEM version.
