So I was in a middle of a game and the computer just went black on me. Couldn't get it back on. I tested the psu with the paperclip and the fan spins. I took the gpu out as to test which component is at fault and it booted and I can get into the windows login screen, albeit very laggy. However, with the gpu plugged in, nothing happens, not even leds.
Specs: antec hcg 520w
xfx-r9 280x
i5-4460
msi h97 gaming 3
I have seen the other threads and it seems like a psu problem.
What worries me is that, did it damage my other components while it got busted
Update: so i tested the psu and it worked, now how do i go about testing each part
Update: So after I removed my graphics card, everything turned on and I was able to boot with the on board graphics, although it was very slow and the log in screened lagged alot. Would this indicate a problem with the graphics card or the psu not having enough power?
