Hey guys so I built my first computer just under a month ago (HURRAY!) but it just stopped working =(
I had been using it today, put it to sleep and went to shower. When i came back it was off and wouldn't turn on. Now when i say won't turn on, when i turn the PSU off or unplug it then hit the power button, all the fans turn on for 1/2 a second, just enough to get powering up but then are stopped by the time that 1/2 second has stopped. I replaced the PSU (a 500w with a 750w this past Thursday but it has worked fine - besides that the other components were the original I put together).
So I am completely new to this, what/how should i go about troubleshooting this?
Few things to mention:
The extra cords are hanging out of my case until i get twist ties, not glamorous but didnt want to stuff them in the way of my intake fan, they weren't touching anything metal, just on my wooden desk
I haven't had any issues with it at all, it all went together then worked the first time - I'd suspect the PSU was the issue but it does give power if only for a split second.
I have a Corsair 750w PSU, a Radeon HD 7750 GPU, 1 Hardrive, 1 optical drive, a quad core 3.8ghz CPU, and a here is the URL to my motherboard because I don't know what to reference it as: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128553
I am not freaking out just yet, but would really appreciate some input/help.
Thank you so much
