I was watching a Youtube video after a long gaming session and the computer just shut down out of nowhere. My peripherals were still powered but there was no reaction from trying to turn the computer on. I waited a few hours to try again, to no avail.
I tested my PSU with the green wire test, and it powers on and the fans run.
When I connect it to my motherboard, I do not see any LED light up on the motherboard.
One thing I do notice though, if I plug in my DeathAdder mouse into the USB port on the motherboard, the LED on the mouse lights up, so I'm confused as to whether my motherboard is dead or if the problem is somewhere else.
I'm not totally savvy with hardware so I don't really know what to do from here.
Specs are below:
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz
Ram: 2x4 GB Corsair Vengance DDR3
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA 970A D3
PSU: Corsair TX550M
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 64-bit
GPU: Gigabyte nVidia GTX 960 4GB
