Hi all,
I just built a new pc yesterday.yes, YESTERDAY. The specs are
i5 3.4ghz
8gb ram
Gtx 760
600w corsair psu
So I was just using it for less than half a day. Was trying to load up a multiplayer server in battlefield 4, which I have been able to play the campaign easily for the past few hours. And then before a loading screen comes up, my CPU shuts down and now I cannot even switch it on. I tried disconnecting the gpu, the USB cables, the psu connections to my internal hdd, my DVD drive, and still nothing is working.
It makes no sense to me especially when it is so new. I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do? I know I can bring it back to the store but it still takes some effort and alot of time to do that(been there twice in 2 days to settle some issues) . So I was wondering if I can try fixing it myself first.
Some additional info: I did not accidentally kick the cpu or whatsoever to loosen anything, and the parts all seem to be connected properly. I have read online about shorting the CMOS? Do I really have to do that? It doesn't seem like resetting the CMOS will fix anything in this case. Besides, I have no idea what it actually does other than resetting the system.
Would greatly appreciate any help here... Thanks.
