This is kinda a long story. Back at the beginning of July, I was playing The Division, and my pc suddenly shut off. My power light was blinking, and the fans stopped running. Pressing the power button or the reset button did nothing, holding down the power button didn't turn it off. So I switched off the power supply, let it sit for a bit, and tried to turn it back on. No dice. The fans would try to spin, but couldn't. After googling around for a bit, I tried a spare power supply I had. Still nothing. I have no other spare parts, and after a chat with MSI tech support, I RMA'd the motherboard. Three weeks later I get one back, reassemble, and we have progress! The fans turn, the hard drives sound like they're spinning up, but nobodies home. No post. So I borrow an unused graphics card from a friend, as some people suggested that might be the problem. Still no post. I haven't tested my RAM, because I had RMA'd it earlier this year, and tested it when it got here, just to be sure.
So at this point, I decided to see if my processor was the problem. As I do not have a spare, I hit up AMD support and checked: my motherboard supported my CPU (AMD 8370), there was no heat damage on the CPU, no bent pins. So I got to RMA that too. I just today got a new CPU in the mail from AMD, same model.
Same problem. I am truly at a loss. I'm usually pretty good with trouble shooting, but now? I just don't know. Should I just buy a new motherboard? Leave MSI behind?
