Posted August 27, 2019 So I had moved a few months ago, and when I arrived at my new place, my pc wouldn’t work. The issue is described here: turn the power button on, the fans spin up, but then nothing happens. My GPU RGB lights are off, and then when I hold the power button to shut it all down, it doesn’t respond. The only way to shut it down is by switching the power off. Now, a few days ago I built a computer for someone in the house, and I used their power supply to quickly test on my pc, and everything seemed to work fine. The power supply wasn’t in the case, I just plugged in the 24 pin, cpu and PCIe connectors in, and I was able to shut it down via the power button, and then also get into the bios. I could not test if i could get into the system, as I did not get power to my drives, but I was confident that everything was working fine and that the power supply must’ve been damaged while moving. A week later, I finally get a replacement psu for myself, and here I am, wondering why I am back to the old problem. Old psu was 600w, test was 500w, new is 600w. The old one worked great for 2 years. Now I’m back to my original question, is the new psu faulty, or is my motherboard dead and somehow I got lucky while testing.

Posted August 27, 2019 If your graphics cards fans didn't spin and the lights didn't turn on its probably an issue with the card or the board. If you motherboard has other PCIe slots try it in one of those, or in another system, try another card in that slot if you can, If your cpu has integrated graphics try booting off that with the card uninstalled Optical Drive Poll: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1006309-optical-drive-survey/ Main Rig (Pulsar) CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X MOBO: MSI MEG X570 Unify RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB (4x8gb) 3200Mhz 16-16-16-32 GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Chromax (LTT Edition) Storage: Intel 6000p 128gb boot drive, Intel 665p 1tb (x2), Samsung 850 EVO 1tb, Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass PSU: EVGA SupeNOVA G1+ 750W OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit FreeNAS Server (The Vault) CPU: Xeon E5-2603 v3 MOBO: MSI X99 Tomahawk RAM: G.Skill Aegis (4x8gb) 3000Mhz 16-18-18-38 GPU: EVGA GT 710 Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED Storage: Intel S3520 x2 for boot, x16 in RAIDZ for storage, Seagate Ironwolf 2tb (Striped will be a steam cache) Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro Tempered Glass PSU: Corsair CX750 750W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
