Is my Pc dead?

[elexi0s]

so firstly, apologies if this turns out to not be cpu mobo or memory relted but i have no clue what the issue is and these are the most likely culprits.

so ive got a self built system with a 7600k a msi z270 A pro 16gb corsair vengeance ram a 980ti and an ssd and other unrelated stuff, the normal, and importantly ive got an 800 watt power supply that is a little old honestly.

 

so over the past few months ive had issues where playing csgo the game would just suddenly crash, but after upgradig my system from win 7 to 10 it got worse (or atleast it seemed to line up exactly with this. it now just hard rebooted my system out to the bios, and after playing a few other games ive noticed it happens in them too although the only stuff i can consistently get it from is csgo and rainbow 6 siege which are fairly cpu intensive games.

anywa today i was playing with a freind when this occured so i went to reboot it and ... nothing. no response, no mobo error post, no nothing just a dark unlit pc refusing to turn on. now im pretty sure as the pc novice i am this is either a cpu issue motherboard issue or power supply issue (which is most likely i think ill explain) but then why then did the bug get worse when i changed to windows 10? weird huh?

so i have a terrible habit of leaving my pc on sleep over ngith because im used to the molasses startup speeds of a hdd, which is why i thik its a power supply issue. although it definately could be cpu or motherboard which i bought a year ago so they are much newer than the probably 3 or 4 year old power supply.

ive obviously tried the basics like a different outlet, cable, starting it with a screwdriver instead if the power button, the basics. but now it doesntevene boot i have no idea what to do. do i just buy a new psu and hope for the best?

any help appreciated cus im broke and cant really afford to spend $500 fixing this <3

Hi !

 

 

If the game crashes and not the whole system, then  your system may not be dead.

 

First, have you verified your CS install from steam ? You may check for steam / game updates or reinstall them.

 

If it doesn't work, my advice would be to check every one of your components, starting with the GPU. Do you have another GPU to try ? Otherwise you could just run the game GPU-less in low specs to see if it still crashes.

 

If it doesn't crash with another GPU, then it may be GPU software or hardware problem. If it crashes without a GPU installed, it may be another problem.

do you have another cpu that would work in the mobo? or can you barrow one from a freind. If so i would use that to se if its cpu, if not try barrowing ram ect then if that does not work its prob your mobo.  Also do you have another computer to test the psu on?

As said in the post originally it was just crashing the game then crashing the computer now it won't turn on at all

Yeah I got a spare PSU but not motherboard or CPU and I'm 99% sure the memory is fine so I'll hope to God it's PSU

well I'm sorry I've misread your post.

 

 

Then yes that's more likely to be a  PSU failure. Eventually a MB failure but less likely.

 

Good luck with troubleshooting !

I would try the easy fix of pulling the GPU out first and testing on your APU alone. If nothing occurs, there is your problem! If not, troubleshooting will get tougher.

Well try it out and get back to us! Good luck!  

(Also if you need a cpu i think you can get used celerons for 6th/7th gen for super cheap)
