Hello,
Last night I returned to my computer after 2-3 minutes of being away to find it sitting at the ASUS "power supply surge detected" screen. Not word for word there, as I can't completely remember the message.
Anyway, I went through the BIOS (z170) and started it up. Everything looked fine, so I shut down and went to bed.
This morning I awoke to a computer that simply will not boot. When I press the power button the motherboard and graphics card LEDs pop on, but none of my fans start and nothing else happens.
I tried removing the graphics card, wondering if maybe my PSU is underperforming for some reason and that could be an issue. However, after doing so the same thing still occurs. LEDs pop on and motherboard wakes up, but not video output or anything. I think I can hear the HDD spin up as well.
My question: what should my next step in the troubleshooting process be? Is there anything else I can do to dial in on whether I have a bad mobo or a bad PSU? Or should I just send the PSU back and see what happens with the replacement?
Any help is very, VERY appreciated. I'm a software developer who works from home and this is my work computer, so... very unfortunate situation.
PS., if it helps, this is a fairly new build I finished about 3 weeks ago. Has worked great up until this point.
EDIT: Also, it was plugged into a surge protector as well.
EDIT2:
