Hello,
I built my first rig about 3-4 months ago. It's been working beautiful until last night.
2 Nights ago I added my old HDD from my last computer to it. Worked great. I shut down my computer, then last night I tried to turn it on and... nothing. The worst part about this is that I just got rid of my old computer literally the night before, and it's in the mail to the other side of the country, so I don't have a another rig to test the PSU on.
The motherboard has the green light. Something REALLY weird is that the USBs are supplying power to my speakers/bluetooth dongle but not the keyboard/mouse (with the PC off), although this might of been the case before and I just didn't notice it.
And because I want to provide every detail, one of my chassis fans are located on the side of the case I pulled off when I was installing my old HDD, and I forgot about that, so when I pulled it off it pulled it out of the pins on the mobo. My motherboard incorrectly describes where this chasis fan goes, so I plugged it into a couple different places around the chasis fans until it worked. I highly doubt this did anything especially if it didn't cause immediate damage. But just wanted to provide every detail.
And no, I didn't nudge the power pins, etc. All connections are properly seated, tried a few different power cords, outlets, etc.
My question is this: Could it most likely be PSU, Motherboard, or a bad pwr on wire? I don't know what else it could be.
Also my motherboard is a z87 Sabertooth. It seems these do die on people.
Thoughts?
