Hello Everyone, Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I've had this PC for over a year now but it hasn't worked for most of that time. I Bought it from Cyberpower and the intel CPU fan broke after two months of running the PC very hot in a very small ITX Case. Motherboard is the MSI Gaming Pro AC Z170 ITX. around 6 months passed before I attempted to fix it. I bought a new cooler, case (Corsair Carbide Air 240), PSU, and Graphics Card (GTX 1070). I rebuilt it but upon turning it on, it wouldn't show anything on the monitor. The CPU fan turns on and the card lights up, the case fans don't turn on but i think that's part of their features? The keyboard and mouse turn on and then abruptly turn off, so they don't receive power. The CPU light on the motherboard is red but the RAM light and HDD lights are off. (keep in mind this was around 6 months ago, yeah im a procrastinator.) I Took out the GPU, took out the ram but i never heard any beeps, used only one ram or the other and none at all, tried resetting the cmos multiple times. turning off and turning on without power. I haven't tried taking out the CPU yet but i do recall taking the motherboard out again to check it. It could be the RAM as I had this problem before it in the other case. I don't know why the CPU led is red, however. The CPU (i7 6700k) has gone through a lot as the old case used to get very hot.
Update: Took out the CPU and checked it. It had a slight chip on the corner of the CPU similar in location to this picture. It wasn't bent or anything, just a small chip on the side and most of the material still there. Besides that, it looked fine and the motherboard looked fine as well. I put it back in with new paste and all and changed and plugged in firmly all the cables and it still didn't post. I don't want to buy another CPU but it might be dead.
PIC for illustrative purposes
Any help is much appreciated, Thanks!
