Hi guys, I'm at a complete loss with what's going on with my new build and I wondered if some of you more knowledgeable folk might be able to help me figure it out!
The first issue I had was not being able to get the PC to boot. I checked the on switch by seeing if I could just short the power switch pins, but nothing. I know the board was getting power because USB devices were lighting up as well as the LEDs on the motherboard.
I then assumed a PSU issue, so I tried a different PSU and it booted just fine. Therefore, I thought it's either my original PSU or one of the PSU cables. I tested the PSU by shorting it and getting it to power a blu ray drive which worked just fine.
New cables for PSU came yesterday - I plug them into the original PSU and then plug it into the board - powers on first time! Issue solved. Or so I thought...
I put the PSU back inside the case and just check it still boots - nothing. What?! I thought I had it all figured out! I then took the PSU back out of the case and tried again - it powered on fine. Back inside the case again then - nothing! I try with the second PSU again - works first time, and constantly. I then take my original PSU to work and try it on a PC here and it works first time again! I power down and try booting again, now it doesn't work!
I've no idea what the issue is. Is it the motherboard? A temperamental PSU? Could it just be the CPU isn't seated properly? but then why does it work first time with a different PSU?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
