Okay so today I replaced the PSU in the build because the PC stopped being able to start up. I went from a 500 W bronze to a 750 W gold and after a while, the PC started up, which is to say that all fans were spinning, all lights were on but im getting no display. The CPU light on the MoBo is a solid red though and I cant seem to find out why. On further inspection, when the button is pressed on the CD drive, it opens and then closes again within a second of being open. and the HDD activity light is dead.
I tried to reseat the CPU and noticed two dark marks on top and im wondering whether it could be fried? considering absolutely all parts of this build are brand new, I dont know how likely that is.
Specs are as follows:
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core 4.0 Ghz
8GB HyperX Black RAM
XFX R7850 Black Edition Double Dissipation 2GB DDR5
WD Caviar Blue 500GB SATAIII Hard Drive
750W EVGA Gold PSU
Asus CDRW Optical Drive
thankyou in advance
