Computer not posting

Here is my setup:

AMD Fx 8350 @ 4.51ghz 1.41v (220mhz BCLK, 20.5 multiplier)

Powercolor r9 290 pcs+ @ stock

Amd r9 gamer memory 2x4gb @ 2052mhz (220mhz BCLK, 9.33 multiplier)

Gigabyte 990fxa ud3 rev. 4 F2 BIOS

Crucial mx100 128gb as C:

Seagate Barracuda 1tb as storage

EVGA 850 G2 with black sleeved cable kit and eco mode on

Nanoxia Deep Silence one

Cryorig r1 ultimate

Arctic Cooling mx-4

Fan configuration:

2x stock nanoxia fans intaking in the front (120mm)

2x Cryorig XF140 on cpu cooler

1x Cryorig XT140 as rear exhaust.

 

Problem:

I tried to launch a game (planetside 2) and after the game went full screen I got a black screen and the PC hard locked. After about 10 seconds it shut down and did not turn back on. I tried taking it out the case and running the system on the graphics card box. I plugged everything back in and jumpered the power button pins with a screwdriver. Still nothing. I suspected it was the power supply so I turned eco mode off and started the psu with a 24 pin jumper. The fan started spinning so it is not completely dead. So my suspicion right now is that the power supply crapped out and took some other components out with it. If anyone could give any troubleshooting tips or advice it would be much appreciated.

Do you get any beep codes or LED debugging lights to further give information about the problem? Most cases come with a small speaker that can be attached to the motherboard for debugging.

I don't have a debug light or a speaker, but would it work to plug in a regular 3,5mm device?

No, the output for the speaker are from specific pins around the front panel connector pins. A speaker is $.99 if you have a decent computer hardware store nearby. Other than that have your tried clearing the overclock out of the BIOS (clearing* the BIOS) and seeing if it'll start on stock clock?

No, it doesn't use a regular plug. They use specific pin outs found on the motherboard front panel header area.

Try to either boot right to bios if you have a button like that on your MOBO. Otherwise boot to a second BIOS if you have and if you don't then reset the BIOS with the jumper.

I've tried using the clear CMOS jumpers on my motherboard. System still didn't start at all. No fans spinning up or anything like before.

I've tried that already. Didn't work.

sounds kinda like either the psu is bad, the mobo is bad, or both, but im not an " expert "

[BuntzenB]

I would venture to say that the PSU is dead (I know you said you started it with a jumper.) And i know its a really expensive PSU.

Do you have a friend that you can borrow a PSU from? (and a case speaker?) Because that is my bet

Almost the same thing happened on my friend's rig. He was even playing planetside 2 lol. I was there when it happened so I brought him my spare PSU and it is still working fine.
