Hello community,
I would like to ask everyone's help today.
Well I've put off doing this computer in frustration and have finally come back to it due to well, laptop gaming is just not my forte.
Anyways, I have a system which does not receive any video input but all parts are running. I've narrowed down the situation to either my PSU or my mobo, but I do not have spare parts to handle which part is causing the issue or hopefully not, both parts. Basically my situation is that the psu would be giving power to the motherboard, video card, and system fans except it seems that all the usb ports seem to not be getting any form of power whatsoever. I have run a paperclip test and the psu has been running. (I'm not sure if one of the red pins in the 24 pin power cable from the psu to the mobo is the culprit, but I have read online that those pins have shared voltages). But that would not solve the video input not being read from the computer. So I'm quite confused in regards to the situation whether if my motherboard is just out or if it is my psu itself.
I hope you guys can recommend me more solutions or if I should just give in and buy new parts of both. My apologies for a terribly written thread and hope your eyes will not bleed with the fluidity of this wall of text. (At first I thought the motherboard not being grounded was a problem, but I separated the motherboard out of the case and still the same issue of no video input, or usb response)
