Hey guys,

Ive been having problems with my computer lately, as of tonight this is my 3rd time resetting my CMOS battery. I was playing games and skyping then my computer shut down but the pc lights were still on, however, the fans werent on. My monitors work perfectly please help!!!!!!!

UPDATE:The computer now doesnt even turn on.

Here is my current build is Austin Evan's Photon budget gaming PC

The first thing to actually try would be to jump start the psu to see if it still works. Take a piece of insulated wire, strip the ends, and then pull the 24 pin plug from the motherboard. Stick one end of the wire into the only pin in the plug connected to a green wire, then run the other end to any pin connected to a black wire. If it doesn't start, it may be toast. As for a new motherboard, it may need to be replaced depending on the extent of the damage.

Power supply related possibly? Build uses a CX 430 and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the root of all evils here

I dont have a PSU tester on hand, once i replace me CMOS battery and get a new power supply should everything be fine or will i still need to pick up a new motherboard?
