PC Problem!

HighQ

So I have some problems with my newly built PC..

When I was playing games it just died, and when I tried to restart it nothing happend, monitor signals "No video input" and my mouse and keyboard isnt getting any power, they are all dead.

The only thing that happens is that all the fans start spinning, but the gpu fan doesnt have a constant spin, it stops every 1-2 seconds for about 1 second.

Ive tried a different gpu, ram and psu (600W), the gpu and ram were from functioning computers and the psu was bought to test. The motherboard was sent in to where I bought it from and they say it works.

I have also tried every ram slot available and I tried starting the computer without ram but I didnt get any beep code.

I took out the CPU and it has no bent pins that I can see.

Any ideas on what it can be? My first thought was ram, psu and mobo, so unless my first psu broke and the one I bought was broken too, I only have the cpu and gpu left, the reason I still have the gpu in my thought is because the gpu we tried had the fans spinning all the time..

And what I can remember all cables were connected as they should, switched case and psu so Ive redone the cables like 4 times..

(cpu, 24-pin, pci-e and HDD..)

Specs:

Mobo: Gigabyte F2A78M-D3H

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz

RAM: 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600MHz

GPU: ASUS R7 260X 2GB OC

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM

PSU: Cooler Master B500 ver.2

I appriciate any help, but make sure you read it all and avoid suggestions I have already tried.

have you verified the PSU is working?

 

that model of PSU from CM is kinda trash

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

This is incredibly incorrect.

Don't spew false info.

You could run r9 290 on 500w no problem

His system needs no more than 450w

Well you've pretty much effectively went through each component. The last one you haven't checked is the CPU, so looks like that is the source of the issue.

Only thing to do now is try to either exchange for a new one or RMA the current one. I'm curious as to how it could have died. Did you monitor temperatures at all? Did you overclock anything? Stock cooler or aftermarket?

Could be no real cause besides just a bad CPU of course.

The New Machine: Intel 11700K / Strix Z590-A WIFI II / Patriot Viper Steel 4400MHz 2x8GB / Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC w/ Bykski WB / x4 1TB SSDs (x2 M.2, x2 2.5) / Corsair 5000D Airflow White / EVGA G6 1000W / Custom Loop CPU & GPU

 

The Rainbow X58: i7 975 Extreme Edition @4.2GHz, Asus Sabertooth X58, 6x2GB Mushkin Redline DDR3-1600 @2000MHz, SP 256GB Gen3 M.2 w/ Sabrent M.2 to PCI-E, Inno3D GTX 580 x2 SLI w/ Heatkiller waterblocks, Custom loop in NZXT Phantom White, Corsair XR7 360 rad hanging off the rear end, 360 slim rad up top. RGB everywhere.

no way a CPU could just went keboom

 

unless the PSU fried the CPU

I had eyes on temps and according to the program I used they never went above 55°C, and I used the stock cooler and didnt touch the speed or voltage on it.

But one thing bother me with the graphics, my fans go wierd, like this: http://youtu.be/jNhlhLtHJEk (my PC) but my friends fan on the gpu spin all the time..

I hope I wasnt so super-unlucky the second PSU I bought was broken when I got it and that that is the problem..
