JJK Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) PC FIXED, IT WAS MOBO I went afk in wow to take a nice poo. PC was off when i stepped back in the room?? No screen, no lights, no fans, no overclock, just nothing. Previously tried swapping cords, unplugging some and all components, swapped outlet, unplugged cord and cmos for long time, checked connections, checked for damage etc.. EVGA suggested paperclip test, (fan did spin on power supply so its ok?) CMOS battery is wrapped up and i would have to damage it to give it the ole lick test Does that mean its time to buy a new mobo? Thanks for reading :-) GA-H110N Mini ITX LGA1151 Edited February 14, 2018 by JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJK Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Could also result in your CPU getting fried. Do you have a CPU cooler on it that is not the stock one? If the CPU goes, so does the computer stock fan. is there any way to test? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJK Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 If you can turn on your PC, get this https://www.cpuid.co...version-history and run a stress test on your CPU. If your computer crashes or turns off then it I would assume that it is your CPU causing the issues. If it runs fine then it could result in your power supply just shutting down. Is your PC somewhere where the power supply can get cool air? Or is it in a corner or on carpet? its a used machine i got 2 months ago. Never had any issues with it at all. pc was in open area several feet of the ground. if i remove cpu, i wonder if mobo will do anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJK Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 It might light up but nothing else. Have you been overclocking the CPU? nope.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSCH Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 sounds like your PSU took a shit, its more common than you think, especially in the 2nd hand trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblackhawk Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 it sounds like the power supply is shot, as Fortis said the fan may spin but no power coming out. I had this happen a couple of years ago. took out power supply put new one in and it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwillzz Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Also going to say it's most likely the power supply or the motherboard. My bet is on the motherboard considering the power supply fan spun up. Whats your specs? Might want to consider upgrading while your at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is on the motherboard considering the power supply fan spun up. Whats your specs? Might want to consider upgrading while your at it Could be your power supply shutting down, even if the fan is spinning it could still be getting overheated. How many watts is it? Also what is the system configuration of the PC? MOBO RMA found internal chip dead. Once its back we will see if I get turned on. And after that I will see if the computer gets turned on. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techmo Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Be careful. If it is your power supply that was the original problem, you might fry the new board as well. When a power supply goes out, there's a good chance it takes something with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawBerry Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 change mobo and psu to be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CletusP Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It's 100% PSU. I had this problem last year and it sounds exactly like what you are saying. I would suggest an EVGA, MSI, or Corsair. Don't trust any other brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
