Hello,
I had a power surge at my house two weeks ago which caused my Power Supply fan to fail, so I RMA'd it to seasonic. The computer would still power up and work, but it would overheat after 30-45 mins of gaming.
I bought a temporary power supply from best buy, a Corsair CX 750M, to use until my other returns. Upon installing it, I tried to power it up and the fans/LEDs would activate for approx. one second and then turn off. I checked all my connections to no avail. So I stripped down my components to: Mobo, 1 RAM, PSU, and CPU. With this, my computer would boot to the BIOS. I installed my other 3 RAM, and it again booted to the BIOS. Hooked up my Graphics Card, and the computer would fail on start up again. I then hooked up my SSD and tried to boot without the graphics card, same issue, it would power on for a moment then power off.
Has my motherboard failed? I'm not sure what else to try at this point.
