So yesterday I made a thread about how I changed my PSU from a NEX750G to a 750G2 in order to try and get rid of some coil whine I was having when running high GPU loads, especially in newer games. But that is a different problem entirely and I still have coil whine(I think, graphics card is soon to be RMA'd).
Today upon waking up I CANNOT get my computer to power on. I press the power button and all I hear is a click echoing from the PSU and a slight buzzing noise if I hold down the power button. My red mobo LEDS which usually "breathe" in and out are now a solid red. There is also a soft intermittent screeching coming from around the power supply which gets worse whenever I try to push the power button. I try turning the PSU on and off, nothing. I then notice that my case fan LED's which are built into my cases (corsair 500r) preinstalled fans are still lit up slightly, even though the computer AND power supply have been switched off.
I flipped the switch on my power strip which got everything off. Then after I turned the power switch and PSU back on did the computer boot up finally.
After that I tried putting the computer to sleep, upon trying to wake it up with my keyboard I hear a click from the computer and my computer goes from sleep to off. (but with those case fan LED's still slightly glowing) I do the power strip reset and get it running again.
I shut down the computer in windows, same story.
Restarting the computer in windows works just fine.
After some trial and error, I found that my computer only does this when my graphics card is plugged into my monitor, the card is a 980ti. (the soft screeching from the PSU is still present) Other USB peripherals are just fine. I get none of the above issues except the PSU screeching if I run my IGPU
[strike]Here is where another issue appears. When I was restarting and/or switching the computers power on and off I had weird artifacts appear on my screen when the asus logo came up before my windows booted. My computer then took me literally straight to my desktop, didn't ask me to sign or input a password in windows, straight to the desktop like I had put the computer to sleep and woke it up. It did this twice to me, once after I booted after exiting the BIOS, and another time before that but I can't remember if I was exiting the BIOS or booting normally.[/strike]
Figured out this only happens when my PC shuts off whenever I put it to sleep
I'm really unsure of what is wrong with my system now. I plan on trying it with a different graphics card, a friends old gtx 660 (will I need to change drivers or can I just swap them?) and see if that changes anything. I also put in a CM hyper evo 212 whenever I put in my new power supply, my temps are just fine but is it possible I bent some pins on my i7 6700k when installing?
Let me know if there is anything else I should try. Or if anyone in the Houston area knows a decent place I could take it to since I'm fairly limited on time, as college classes are starting up again next week and I won't have as much time to be working on this.
