New build ran smoothly (installed OS, updated drivers etc.) until I added an extra 2 x 8gig RAM and a PCI express Wifi card at which point it failed to boot again. I removed the new RAM and everything ran well again, until a few hours of moderate use later it crashed (power off, no blue screen)
On trying to power up again, Mobo LED lights were on, fans would stutter but not start up after power switch pushed. Have now benched it, removed everything except CPU, and CPU fan from motherboard. On shorting the power switch, same problem as before (fans move but don't get going, no beeps).
Obviously problem is either the motherboard, cpu or psu. What is my next move? Any help much appreciated.
Build specs:
Intel Core i7 4790k
Asus Z97-C ATX LGA 1150
G.Skill Sniper 2 x 8 gig DDR3 1600
Kingston 2 x 8 Gig DDR3 1600 (this was the second lot)
Samsung 840 Evo 250GB SSD
WD Black 2TB 7200 RPM
Asus GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB
Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case
TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCI Express Wireless Card
Asus DVD RW drive
