So my newest computer wont power on no more. So I did some trouble shooting.

I connected my old Dell pc with my 750w power supply (original one is 350w) and the computer turned on. It also turned on with the 350w . With that being said my newest build does not power up. At all. The little light dont turn on either and the fans dont move (its quite).

So I was wondering if I was to connect the 350w power supply to my latest build would it turn it on? And if it dont does that mean my mobo is fried?

Try this out, I had an issue with my latest build after I re-mounted my CPU cooler it wouldn't turn on after it had been working fine for 2 weeks, couldn't trouble shoot the issue from within the case so I removed everything and bread boarded it (tested it outside of the case) and it magically worked again. Might want to give that a shot so you can see what is causing the issue.

It's a pain to disassemble and reassemble but in the end it will save you much frustration.

Okay. Ill give it a shot. I've had it working for 2 years now so its not really a new build. The only thing I've done is install a new graphics card a few months ago and it had been working fine. Just recently I had trouble startign it up and now it dont even turn on. So a bit frustrated atm.

Did not have standoffs. LOL. Was my first build so dont even remember if it came with them or not. Weird that after 2 years it finally decided to mess up. THANKS FOR THE INFO!!
