[Troubleshooting]
Hi guys.
I'm having trouble booting my new build and I hope someone is able to help me troubleshoot.
The PSU just makes a single click when i short the power switch connectors.
I'm down to having only PSU, CPU, CPU-fan and RAM installed (now while breadbording) and still no luck.
The first time breadbording i had everything plugged in and even managed to install the OS.
Unfortunately I don't have a speaker to help me listen for beeps.
I'm thinking something is shorting out somewhere in or on the mobo, but I can't seem to see anything physically wrong with the board.
I've tried reseating the CPU, tried with the stock cooler, tried clearing the CMOS. And I've tried with another PSU even though I'm pretty sure it still works (tried the paperclip trick).
So I'm pretty much at a loss at this point and any ideas or suggestions are very welcome!
Specs:
CPU: Core i5-4670K
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z87N-WIFI
SSD: 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW
GPU: Radeon HD 7970 3 GB
RAM: 8 GB Kingston hyperx 1600 mhz
PSU: 550W CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold
CASE: Fractal Design Node 304 Black
