Hi,
New rig builder here in need of some help. For the past few days my new rig had been working fine but yesterday suddenly the entire rig shut off and wont turn back on. In order to isolate the problem I went back into the case to figure out if there had been any cables that had came out
None of that.
I had been monitoring the cpu temps and it reached a max of 38 degrees celcius so I dont think its an overheating problem
To this end, I thought it was a psu problem because it was a tier 5 brand as labled by eggxpert and only supplied 430w. I then got a corsair cx600M which was a tier 3 and suited my needs nevertheless. The board still wont turn on.
Now to further isolate the issue I plugged in the 24 pin by itself - the motherboard led and my hyper 212 fan turn on. Connecting everything else during this time turns everything on.
However, as soon as I try to connect my 8 pin cpu power, it shuts off. And im confused as to whether this is a motherboard or a cpu issue. Im hoping motherboard but I really need some help cause its bothering me. Thanks!
Currently my specs are:
- AMD FX 8320 processor w/hyper 212 aftermarket fan
- MSI 970a-g46 motherboard
- 8gb RAM
- Radeon amd 7750 HD GPU
- Western Digital 500GB HDD 7200 RPM
