Hello,
So, a few weeks ago my PC randomly shut off on me while I was using it. Now my PC doesn't power on at all. The only time it kinda powers on is when I unplug it for a few seconds, and the plug it back in. But it only powers the fans and the rgb for a split second before shutting off again. Again, this happens in a split second. It doesn’t post or make any beep sounds.
I tried the usual process of elimination, trying to identify which component failed. However, no matter what I did, the PC wouldn't properly power on.
This lead me to believe that it was either the CPU or the Motherboard that failed. I was planning to replace both of these this week, however I'm starting to think that it might be my PSU.
I tried manually powering on my PSU by connecting the green cable to a black cable with a random wire, and I didn't hear or see any fans turning on.
I have a Cooler Master rs-750-amaa-g1, which makes me more worried because I've seen a number of people complain about Cooler Master PSUs, especially the cheap affordable ones.
So I'm not sure what to do. Am I correct for assuming that my PSU is most likely the fault?
Edit: And Yes, I've tried resetting the CMOS.
My Specs:
CPU: AMD FX8350
Motherboard: Asrock 970 extreme3
Ram: 12GB G.SKILL Ripjaws
SSD/HDD: 1TB Western Digital Drive
GPU: r9 280x
PSU: Cooler Master rs-750-amaa-g1
OS: Windows 7
