Computer was working fine. I opened it up and changed the slot of the PCI sound card, no big deal. Tried booting up again... case LEDs would turn on for maybe a tenth of a second and immediately shutoff.
I suspected a PSU problem, so I did the paperclip test and it failed. The PSU must have somehow died, coincidentally at the same time I opened the computer up...
I went and got a new PSU, computer turns on now, but no video signal. I have no case speaker but the board has a debug code display showing code "00".
Both PCI-E slots and integrated graphics have the same problem. The problem is not the monitor or the cable. Could it be the motherboard? The old power supply must have died silently, no noise, smoke, or smell.
Relevant specs:
Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
i5 2500k
MSI GTX 760
Old PSU: Seasonic X series 80+ gold, 660W
New PSU: Antec HCG 850W
Did the sticky steps and breadboard, no progress. Ideas?
