    It's a strange situation but I haven't managed to get my PSU fan started yet, so I suspect it's delivering power but it can't start

    I did switch it off and on, the PSU is delivering power as the manual start and reset button is lit up but when I press it nothing happens
    But not sure what's wrong.
    Can we eliminate some issues
    Is there and issue with my mobo?
    CPU?

    Yesterday my mother turned off the mains on the socket. The computer was working perfectly fine before that. Now I can't start up my computer, I'm using an ROG maximus 6 hero and i used the start button on the motherboard itself, the computer did not power on. The light itself on the start button lit up. However it might still be a problem with the PSU or motherboard.
    It could be anything, even the CPU might be at fault
    I tried shorting the start up pins and it didn't work too
    Please help! ><
    PSU: 1000W CM silent pro
    Motherboard: maximus 6 hero
    CPU: 4770k
    GPU: GTX 970
    RAM: Crucial ballistix 8GB
    Any other info U guys might need im happy to provide!

    We don't overcome the "want the best" mentality
    This is all part of being an enthusiast, it's feeling good when you have the most kickass system in the neighborhood/school etc.
    golf enthusiasts spend thousands on clubs just to whack a plastic ball
    Car enthusiasts spend tens of thousands modding their car, upgrading their engine when there are speed limits on the road
    My father loved aquariums so he spent 4k on a fish...... Wanted to slap him after that
    You get the point .....
    We as the PC enthusiast community accept that we are PC hobbyists and it is ok for us to spend money on things that don't make sense at first but make us feel good at the end of the day
    It's what makes us different, being able to say I have the higher overclock or a better FPS is all in the beauty of the computer industry
    Don't regret it , embrace it .
    Building computers is not just a past time but a passion

    System specs:
    Z87 Maximus 6 hero
    4770k
    SLI GTX 980
    8GB Crucial RAM
    NHD15
    How do you know it's an overload protection
    I can't even get it to light up when I press the start button
    It just idles there
    Usually my peripherals are lit up but this time they are are blank
    I don't have a diagnostic PSU too though

    Excellent! Glad to hear the rest of your system is good to go!
    Your PSU may have died, but it sure did its job well and saved the rest of your hardware.

    Sounds like a bad PSU. If you can get another to do a quick test that would be ideal.
