Hi all,
New PC builder so be gentle.
Specs:
Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H Intel LGA1150 Z97 ATX Motherboard
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU
Crucial BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800 Memory Module
Intel Core i7 i7-4790K CPU (Quad Core 4GHz, Socket H3 LGA-1150)
Samsung SAM 850 Pro 256GB 2.5 inch SATA III Solid State Drive
WD 2 TB 3.5-inch Internal Hard Drive - Black
Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0)
So I'd finally got my first PC build working, but I went to turn it on today and it's not powering up. I've gone through the troubleshooting thread on the forum (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems) and everything seems to be ok. I've tried re-building, breadboarding, removing all hardware and re-installing one by one, but it still doesn't seem to work.
My first thought was that the PSU wasn't working so I tried this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4&feature=youtube_gdata which indicated that the power supply is working because the fan was spinning.
I'm a bit stuck with what to try next, can anyone suggest something?
PS. I'm worried the motherboard may have shorted or be dead, is this a possibility?
