Hi guys !
im building a gaming pc for a friend of mine, and i have come across an extremely strange issue. we finished putting it all together and when turning it on for the first time, it came on for a split second and switched off, but everything was plugged in correctly.
his specs:
PSU: 750M corsair 750 watt
CPU: amd fx 6300 series
GPU: EVGA GTX 760
MOBO: M5A78L-M/USB3 - Asus
OPTICAL DRIVE: standard samsung disk drive
HDD: samsung 1TB
now here's the problem i have. when taking the computer apart to find the problem i accidentally knocked that lithium battery out on the mother board and i hadn't noticed that i did, so we turned the PC on stripped to bare and it started working ! but i noticed the battery was out so i put it back (whilst the PC was off obviously) , and then when going to turn it on again, it came on for a split second again and switched off? so i told him to send the motherboard back and get a better one with a different brand.
but what i want to know is why that happened.
(bearing in mind this is my first PC build and my first time posting here)
much thanks in advance
