Hello!
I'm constructing a new PC, but I've never ever had so much trouble.
Spec:
Silverstone Sugo SG07
Asus Z68M-ITX
600W PSU 80+bronze rating from Silverstone as well.
Intel Core i5 i-2500K
MSI Twin Frozor II R6950 OC.
Cosair XMS DDR-1333 8GB
What happened is as follows:
1. Put computer together.
2. Plug it, in and it posts and I get into the BIOS.
3. CPU temps reading around 38-39 degrees. MB around 32-33 degrees.
4. I leave it for about 10 minutes to see if the temperatures are stable. Computer turns off on its own.
5. PC will no longer turn on. It turns on for about 0.5 seconds and turns off immediately.
6. PC will exhibit no further response until I turn off the PSU and wait until it discharges. Upon which, it will turn on for 0.5 seconds again when I hit the power button.
Troubleshooting: I disconnect EVERYTHING and bread board the PC.
I plug in power switch, 24 pin ATX connector from PSU, RAM, CPU, and the stock heat sink. I leave out the 4 pin ATX connector intentionally. Computer does not POST (of course), but the fans run (power supply working? Maybe).
I plug in the 4 pin connector, and everything is dead. PC won't turn on except for 0.5 seconds and immediately shuts down. Regardless of which stick of RAM is in, there is no change.
I repeated it a few times to make sure that this is the case.
What is the problem?
1. Power supply?
2. CPU?
3. motherboard?
Please help me! I'm building a PC while living in a foreign country, so I don't actually have any spare parts lying around to swap in and out to be 100%. All I have is what's in my PC right now. What should I be RMA'ing?
