Parts:
ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W PSU
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz CPU
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO HSF
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Memory
EVGA Geforce GTX 670
Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2CCA 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Corsair Obsidian Series 550D Case
So I built a brand new PC about a month ago, and it has been running great with no problems at all until recently.
I booted into windows one day, walked away for a few minutes. When I came back, my PC was turned off and I haven't been able to turn it on since.
Removed the mobo from the case to breadboard it. Removed GPU. The green LED lights up when plugged in.
1. When I try to power on with both the main power AND the 8-pin CPU power cable plugged in to the mobo:
Absolutely nothing happens. No beeps from internal speaker, no PSU fan.
2. When I power on with ONLY the main power leaving the 8-pin CPU power cable unplugged:
A red light flashes for a split second, then nothing.
At first I thought PSU issue, but the PSU works fine when I use it in another computer and it passes the paper clip test. Also, the exact same thing happens when I used an old working 250w PSU instead, so I really don't think this is a power supply issue.
Did my motherboard just randomly die on me after a month with no problems? Seems unlikely... but what else could it be?
