I have just attempted to upgrade my system. The specifications will be listed below. I kept my ssd and cpu from my old build, and bought a new case, video card, RAM, CPU cooler, motherboard, and power supply. The cpu was working completely fine in the previous build, and along with the ssd is only about a month old. I finished putting the new parts together and the cpu led on the motherboard comes on every time I try to power on the system. Nothing is displayed on the screen, and there are no beep codes coming from the onboard speaker. All of the fans and lights come on just fine, including the video card and motherboard fans. Everything was done while wearing an esd wrist-strap attached to the case.
I attempted starting with no video card, to no avail. I attempted to clear the CMOS, but that didn't help either. The cpu cooler was using two 4 pin fans, both connected to a splitter that connected to the cpu fan header, so I tried splitting those up and placing them on the cpu fan and cpu opt headers. That didn't help. I removed the cpu cooler and cleaned and reseated the cpu. No pins/contacts appeared damaged on it or the cpu 8 pin power. I then reapplied the thermal paste and attempted to boot up again with the same results. The last thing that I tried was to take another known working PSU and hook it up to the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors and power it on. CPU light remained on but this time the fans all span at maximum speed.
I'm running out of ideas, and the cpu was working shortly before being swapped into the new pc. Please help me!
