New build won't boot?

[Mathew]

Mobo: BIOSTAR A960D+

Processor: AMD 1045T 

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB BLS8G3D1609ES2LX0

Graphics card: AMD 6670 

Power supply: Corsair 430CW

 

I just got my parts today and I built it and it wouldn't boot.  Legitimately no power.  I reused the processor from a build that failed a few months back.  It was either the processor or the motherboard that died on me, but I had no was of testing as I didn't have another AMD processor. I would of instantly thought it was the processor that died, but I ended up scrapping the bottom of the motherboard PCB with pliers while trying to remove the motherboard standoff that got removed when I tried removing a screw. Would that of stopped the motherboard from booting or should I purchase another processor?

 

Thanks.

I'm a little confused. Why were you doing that with the motherboard? Anyways, you sure the PSU is even on?

Woah!

 

I'd try the cpu on another mobo to confirm, but that looks pretty damaged to me.

What do you mean?

I think he means to ask why you would use a plier.

It was the only way I could remove the standoff.  It was attached to the back of the motherboard basically.

should of been alot more careful. it looks like the board is pretty roughed up, but i dont personally think its the board. does it POST? or just not boot to os?

No post. Fans wont even start to spin.

Did you build your rig with a hammer? Dang...

[Shrubpig]

You should've been more careful... Why were you using the pliers so close to the motherboard!? Really...

Are there any motherboard LEDs that light up at all? If not, it's most likely the motherboard that's damaged.

when you try to boot the system does the power supply fan do 2 complete rotations then stop? if it does then your motherboard's dead.

Try bridging the green wire to any blacks on your 24 pin connector, then turn it on with the switch at the back.

 

Does the fan start to spin?

Looks like one of the PCB traces are cut, get a new MOBO.
