Some background - my trusty 2.5 year old build suddenly wouldn't turn on a few days ago. Knowing that it was likely a component fault, I had a fiddle with the PSU cables and despite the onboard LED being lit, figured that a lack of any other power indicators meant the PSU was faulty.
After ordering a brand new PSU today, and hooking the whole thing up, the CPU and PSU fans spun for about a quarter-second before becoming stopping completely and requiring me to turn the PSU off/on again before I could boot it.
I've tried breadboarding the build with the components out of the case, using only the RAM (alternated with single sticks), CPU and PSU, but the problem remains the same. At this point I'm genuinely lost as to what the problem is, other than I believe it may be the motherboard as a brand new PSU shouldn't have a similar problem to the old one.
Just to rule out any rookie mistakes, yes I had both the 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU plugged in flush.
Specs
- Intel i7 Devil's Canyon
- Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x 8GB)
- Seasonic Focus Plus 650 W Gold 80 Plus Full Modular Power Supply Unit
- ASUS H81M-Plus motherboard
