HI, I was sitting working at my desk and we had a storm Thursday and the power went out. Has happened dozens of times. I have had the current computer I was using for four years. I use it everyday for work, Avid Media Composer, photoshop, after affects etc... I built it in 2010.
After the power returned the computer would turn on, the fans would spin the light on the mother board was on but no post.
The specs on that computer were:
Windows 7 pro 64
Asus p6t deluxe v2
Corsair ddr3 1600 6x2 ram
Intel core i7 920 cpu
corsair 750w psu
NVidia quadro fx1800
So because I need to fix this quickly I read as much as I could and assumed my mobo was dead. I went to frys and talked it over, was not pressured, and decided to buy a new mobo, cpu and ram
I ended up buying:
Asus z97 mark 2 sabertooth mobo
Intel core i7 4790k cpu
Patriot ddr 3 2400 MHz 2x8 gb ram
then took everything apart, backed up my boot drive knowing I have to reinstall everything and put it all together.
oh and I have a blue ray drive, a sata boot drive, and two raidO's consisting of 4 1tb drives each.
so I put it all together plugged it in and hit the power button and nothing is happening now. the green light is on the mobo but nothing happens. When I first press power the fans spin about a quarter of the way then stop. I opened it up and made sure all the power cables were seated correctly.
So I am stumped here. In the morning I am going to buy a new power supply. My big question is did I not need to buy anything but a psu? is it possible the gpu is blown? Could my mobo and gpu been blown?
any help would be appreciated I need to get this up and running and get back to work like yesterday.
