Hi guys, have a bit of a tricky situation here, hoping someone can help.
I just bought a new psu (rosewill capstone 750-m) and graphics card (r9 290x) to replace my old raidmax hybrid and 6870. After getting the new card and psu installed, I pressed the power button and my system lit up, then immediately powered off. I double checked all my connections, made sure everything was seated properly, and same thing happened.
Now here's the part Im finding a bit tricky: to be sure it wasn't just a missed connection or faulty psu, I reinstalled the old psu and card. Same thing. Just a flicker, then powers off. When I flip the psu switch and remove the power cable, there's an audible 'tink' sound. Not sure if that's normal as I've never heard it before.
I've looked through all the posts I can find that have similar problems. I've tried powering on without any graphics card installed, unplugging and re plugging all connections, and pretty much every other troubleshooting tip I've come across.
Does this sound like my mobo may have gone out or possibly a short?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
