Asus Maximus Hero VII
I7 4790K @ 4Ghz
16GB DDR3 2133Mhz
Nvidia GTX980
So I was plugging in a fan while the system was still running (Idiot right?), and as I attempted to plug it in the whole system just shut off.
Pushing the power button or the start button on the motherboard itself didn‘t do a thing. Just the red ROG lightning lights up when I switch on the power supply (pic).
Tried several things:
-Shut off the power supply several times for a couple of minutes.
-Removed the CMOS battery for half an hour and put it back in.
-I tried another power supply, still just the ROG lightning comes on after switching the PS on.
-Removed everything plugged into the Mb, looked for bent pins, removed the Mb and put it on a box with just the 24 and 8 pin plugged in. Still the same.
...as i recall the Start button on the motherboard was allways lit up just as the ROG lights, but now it doesn‘t.
So is there any chance that I didn‘t kill my MB or is all hope lost?
