Hello,
I have had issues with my pc since December, and have ordered many different parts since then. I am still no closer to finding out what is actually wrong!
Firstly, my old unnamed psu died. This I believe took the mobo, gfx, and cpu with it. I have since bought a new mobo, an MSI z77a gd 45, my cpu has been RMA'd and replaced by intel, and so has my gfx.
I have tried and tested my RAM in a friends computer, and it works fine in his pc.
Yesterday, my new mobo arrived. I connected everything together, and still the same issue. Switch on, then after half a second, it would automatically switch off. I have also connected a speaker to the mobo and I get no beeps whatsoever.
I then decided to run the mobo in the box it came in. I connected the 20+4 cable, (firmly), and the 4+4 CPU pin. Both cables are plugged in as far as they can go. I have also tried both of my RAM sticks in various positions, and also a single stick in different positions. I have also tried running with no RAM atall, and the pc still just shuts down after half a second.
I have looked at the cpu bed, and all pins are straight and unbent. The cpu itself looks fine, and nothing out of place. I have a water cooler which I have installed, and also tried the stock cooler. Both times I plugged the fan into the mobo, into the cpu_fan slot. I also applied a small but sufficient amount of thermal paste.
I have tried resetting CMOS, but no joy.
I understand that I could have been unlucky and received a DOA mobo, but I recently tried a brand new P8z77-V pro, and this also behaved the same way.
The CPU was BRAND NEW, sent from intel, and the PSU is a corsair 750w Bronze, again brand new.
I am really at the end of my tether, and can not think of a reason why this setup is not working. I ran the paperclip test on psu, and it also worked fine, but could the psu have been faulty when it arrived?
My PC specs:
MS Z77A-GD45
i7 2600K
antec 620 kuhler + stock i7 heatsink
F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2X4GB ddr3-1600 pc3-12800) G.SKILL RIPJAWS X
Corsair CX 750M bronze
60gb ssd (not connected)
gtx 560 ti msi (not connected)
I'm starting to feel like the unluckiest person when it comes to computers, as I just cannot work out what is wrong with mine. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
