Dead motherboard ?

[Nexesplay]

So i put together an i5-2400 build and went to bios without no problem, i powered the system off to install windows 10 and when i pressed the power button the fans made a very fast movement like they were gonna start spinning then failed immediatly.

I changed psu incase it was dead (witch it was) and still no result; the pc won't boot up..

Hi,

What motherboard are you using please?

Did you make any changes in the BIOS?

I would attempt to clear CMOS at this point. To do this, you will have to short some pins on the motherboard or use the clear CMOS button if it has one (I doubt it has one).

I agree about clearing the cmos as if any changes got made to the bios that will likely fix it, plus its super easy to do. You can also remove the cmos battery with the system and power supply off for about 15-30 seconds then out it back in

The only thing i did in the bios was to change the the date and time since the board just came out of the box.

And i did try removing the battery but it still wouldnt work, however i have still not tried clearing it from the jumper (idk if it makes any difference), some friend of mine advised me to take off eveything from the board and leave it for 2 days or so.

Before taking all out it is worth it to just clear CMOS...the removal of the CMOS battery alone may not be enough...
