Some background:
Had an old build that out of nowhere was not responsive. The standby power light was on the motherboard (old EVGA model), but the CMOS numbers were no longer being shown inside the case. I took it apart, reconnected everything to no avail. I assumed the motherboard died on me since i could pass the paperclip test on my PSU. No problem, the rig was old and I was in need of an upgrade.
I just purchased:
Asus TUF Z270 Mark1 MOBO
Intel i-5 7600 CPU
Asus GeForce 1060 Strix GPU
G.Skill Tridentz RGB 16 GB DDR4-2400 RAM
The only older parts on this are:
Coolermaster Hyper T4 CPU cooler
NZXT Phantom 410 case (Mid)
Ultra LSP650 PSU
I have checked every connection:
CPU Fan is in place
24 + 8 pin power in place
RAM + GPU are fully inserted
CPU is seated correctly
When i turn the PSU on my MOBO lights up and has the PWR light on, but no fans run and I cannot boot the unit by pressing the case power button. Essentially everything is unresponsive.
Basically all new parts except for the PSU and Case. I'm wondering if that is the issue and wanted to hear some input. The PSU was a hand-me-down and is ~9 years old. Is it possible to have enough capacity/power to pass the paperclip test but not actually run anything except the PWR light on the MOBO?
thanks!
