i built my own pc about 7-8 months ago, here are the specs if anyone is interested:
intel i7 4770k,
asus maximus vi hero motherboard,
corsair vengeance 16gb ram,
gigabyte nvidea gtx 760 4gb,
samsung 500gb ssd,
corsair rm series 850w psu
last night it just died as i was using it
now for the life of me i cant get it to turn back on. tried all the basics, plugging it in somewhere else, different cable ect, no luck. the strange part is, when i plug it in the lights on the motherboard turn on for about 5 seconds (during this time the pc still wont turn on) but then after the 5 seconds the lights turn off.
i was thinking it's most likely the power supply but seeing as it is able to power the motherboard lights i thought it could just as easily be a problem with the motherboard? im really confused and was wondering if anything i said made any of you think "yep that's definately a ____ fault"
any advice in this dark hour would be much appreciated.
