Hi, after months of deciding which parts to buy for my new computer i finally decided and bought everything, and took those parts to my country to build the computer (yesterday).
Now when connecting the motherboard, ram, cpu, and coolers i had the awful surprise to see it wouldnt boot up, after hours of troubleshooting i tried the paper clip method on the power supply. It wont turn on.
Does this mean that the power supply is defective?
Please note that the motherboard (asus z170-a) power light turns on, but when trying to turn on all the pc it doesnt boot up (i also used the button in the motherboard to boot up)
Is there another way to test those components to see if they are working? (cpu, ram, motherboard) and no. i dont have another PSU compatible, the other one i have only has 4-pin for cpu, and this motherboard uses 8-pin, the other connectors are the same.
The power supply is a seasonic s12ii. Its has 5-year warranty, but being in Argentina is difficult to send it back to usa, for rma and then getting it back.
