!HELP ME PLEASE!

[lukeMurray2311]

I am building my first gaming pc and it won't turn on. There was a slight clicking noise coming from the PSU, so I called corsair and they said it was a capacitor problem so I returned it and bought a new one. I plug everything in and turn it on. Again same clicking noise but it did not start. What should I do also specs are below.

Core i7 9700k

Gigabyte RTX 2080

MSI 2390M Gaming MOBO

32 GB corsair RGB ram

Corsair 850w RM850x

 

PLEASE HELP

Try taking everything out and just plug in the motherboard power and see if it receives power (if there are any LEDs on it). And check to see if your motherboard is mounted correctly, maybe the back of your case could be shorting the motherboard? Also, this is a person that seems to have a similar problem to yours...go through what he was told to see if that may resolve your issue. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1768217

It doesn't show are you using HDD or SSD ?  I know stupid question but we gotta know as clicking noise means hard drive.  A mobo can't make a sound,  Only fans can make bad noises or in your case it is coming from the PSU but you changed that and still nothing.  Try what ItsHarox said.  The click sound only leads me to HDD,  Fans doint even make a click sound so I don't know,, let see if we can help your further and what not.

I googled it and did it. Nothing... As I said I think it is the mobo shorting the psu. Is this possible?

I think so as well my friend, I'm sorry for this.  You can keep troubleshooting if you want and we see what happens.

Anything can be possible, just ensure you don't have the mobo on anything but cardboard so its not shorting touching a solder point on metal and its likely the mobo since you have 4 sticks of ram to try etc.  Do you have another computer you can hook the PSU up to?

@lukeMurray2311 or just use the jumper method to turn on the PSU with nothing hooked to it to ensure the PSU works as well
