Hello all, I'm brand new to posting on this site (although I've been using your forums for troubleshooting for quite some time now).
Here's my issue (As completely detailed as possible).
On July 4th, I woke up, after having turned my PC off around 0200, around 0900 to a computer that wouldn't work. It would light up, fans would spin, and it would give the normal single beep. Yet, there was absolutely NO power out to any USB socket or video out through the video card.
I removed everything from the board. Plugged in only the CPU heat sink, and tested each RAM stick individually. Same results: lights, fans, but no power to USB. I didn't even try to plug in my graphics card. After consulting some similar issues, I ordered a new MoBo.
New MoBo arrives, I follow the same steps as above, same results. So I order a new PSU. New PSU is dead on arrival, so I have to wait on a second new PSU. Once it arrives, I still have the same results. So, it must be the CPU, right? At this point I figure, eff it, I'll just buy enough stuff to build my wife a computer too so now I've got pretty much 2 of everything....
Fast forward to last night. Literally brand new everything. I start slow. I plug in only the heat sink and RAM. It powers on beautifully. I failed to test USB power though, so that's on me. So, I plug in my SSD that contains my Operating System and the graphics card. I get an incessant beeping from the MoBo now. It sounds like an alarm clock, a series of 4 successive beeps, followed by a quick pause, rinse and repeat....
So, since I've got 2 of everything, I start changing out parts. I go back to the very beginning, taking everything off except for the heat sink, graphics card and 2 RAM sticks. Now, there's absolutely no beep code, no power to USB and no video out.
So, I transfer to the secondary MoBo. This time, I use different RAM, a different heat sink, same PSU and same CPU. Now it wants to flicker power as if the CPU isn't being cooled properly.
What, if anything, am I doing wrong? Is it possible, in the weird cosmic realm of happen-stance, that I have 2 faulty Motherboards?
The parts:
MoBo: MSI X99 SLI Krait Edition (both of them)
CPU: Intel i7 5930k(the onld one) and intel i7 5820k(the new one)
GFX: Gigabyte G1 980
RAM: G.Skills Ripjaw 4 series.
PSU: EVGA 750(old) Raidmax 1000w RX-1000(new)
CPU cooling: Corsair H80i GT
Additional thought: in placing the second MoBo, I broke the USB3.0 slot that lays behind the GFX card. Is it somehow possible this break caused a short in the MoBo? Even as such, I DID conduct a CMOS reset on the "old" MoBo...
