I am having a sudden problem with my system. When I try to power it on Absolutely nothing happens. No power. Well I shouldn't say NO POWER because the lights on the MB are lit up and I have a USB connecter that has an LED and that is also lit up. However powering on does nothing. POST doesn't even run so it's definitely not a software issue. This system has 3 GPUs, 8 3 & 4TB SATA HD as well as 2x2TB USB 2.0 drives, 5x3TB USB 3.0 HD, 4x4TB USB 3.0 HD.
System Specifics
Intel 4770K modest overclock @4.4 GHz
ASROCK Z87 OC Formula/ac MB
Corsair Hydro Series H80I CPU Cooler
Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD Running Windows 7 Ultimate
32GB G.SKILL RipjawsX 4X8GB DDR3-2133 CL9
EVGA G2 1000W PSU
GPU 1 Gigabyte 7870 OC
GPU 2 Gigabyte 7870 OC
GPU 3 HIS Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
Connected to 5x27" monitors and a 42" Samsung TV
System was running fine for 6 mths then one day it froze and when I attempted to reboot nothing happened which brings me to my opening statement
I sent my original PSU back since they had done a recall on the batch of the particular model I had purchased anyway and I thought that was a logical place to start. When I received the new PSU I installed it and when I booted up my system would look like it was powering on but after about 35 seconds would shut down and reboot and it did this about 8 or nine times. I finally just cut the power to the system and when I tried to reboot again I was at my original situation. Absolutely nothing happening. MB LEDs were lit and the USB LED was lit but nothing happened as far as the PC booting up. I talked to a tech at EVGA because I thought that the PSU had arrived DOA and after I described what had happened the tech agreed that it sounded like the PSU was indeed DOA and even though the LEDs were lit it was likely that the 5 volt rail was working but the 12 volt rail was not. However after getting off the phone with him I decided to try it in one of my other systems and it turned out that the PSU is fine. When I called back to cancel the RMA the tech I spoke with suggested that one of my GPUs may be bad so my question is… from what I have described from your collective experiences would a dead GPU cause the symptoms that I have described because I don’t think so. I’m not sure if this could be a MB issue but I thought I would find out if you folks would have any insights. If I am unable to get any helpful insights from the technically savy folks on Toms I guess I will have to troubleshoot each component of my system but I would really prefer to not pull it apart because with so many components in it it is a real pain to do that. The worst being all the cables are behind my MB due to cable management and I’m sure you can guess how many cables there are with all the drives in this system and 3GPUs (I’m sure a lot of you know what a pain it is to completely pull your system apart and start from scratch)
So if any of you have any experience that may be helpful to me I would be extremely grateful for your assistance.
