Hey guys,
Here's a story...
A few weeks ago, my PC was encountering some issues, the PC sometimes shut down when gaming or loading programs/movies on the internet (This was RAM related).
I started to get used to the crashes, but then it started. I replugged the whole PC (inside and outside, because i wanted to reorder the cables). I tried to boot it. The PSU started to work for just 1 second and then the whole system went down. I tried to boot it again, putting the cables in the PSU in another port and my MOBO started to look for the devices, but it was stuck at a moment the "A3" code was on the screen. I tried to enter the BIOS without success. The only thing on the screen was "Entering Setup...". The motherboard was totally dead so i bought another one (with some new RAM).
Today the new components came to my house and I've put them in the case. During the boot i noticed that my Graphics Card wasn't working, only the on board card. But the fans of the graphics card were working on full speed (which isn't normal). I thought it was the power cable of the card, so i put a new cable in the slot in the PSU (Same as the one that killed my previous MOBO, I wasn't thinking about this being the main problem). I boot the system and went off again. Cleared CMOS, dismantled cables and put them back and now my system keeps rebooting (I hear the PSU turn on every 2 seconds. There is no way to enter the bios or get any display.
Now my main question. My PSU is the problem, but are my GPU and my new MOBO dead? Is it possible that my PSU killed them both?
This is just is just the worst thing ever happened to my PC.
The System:
1 MSI H61-E33 B3 (Now changed with this -again dead- Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H 1.1) (not working)
1 SSD Samsung 830 128gb
1 HDD Samsung 500gb
1 OCZ 700W PSU
2 Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600
1 Intel i5-2300 2.8gHz
1 EVGA GTX770 ACX Cooler 2gb (not working)
Windows 8.1 64bit
