And it broke whilst stress testing...

[Litargirio]

I put this PC together yesterday, installed Windows 8.1, and everything worked just fine...

 

CPU: 4790K

Mobo: Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5

RAM: 16GB G.Skill TridentX 1866

Storage: Crucial MX100 256GB

PSU: Seasonic 850W Evo Edition

GPU: none yet

 

There is also an NZXT Sentry Mix 2 fan controller, with 6 LED fans connected to it.

 

After installing Windows yesterday I ran PassMark PerformanceTest, which didn't put up any problems, so today I ran it again, this time changing the test time to long and let it sit doing its thing. After a while, the PC shut itself off. Not only that, but it refuses to turn on now.

 

If I let it sit for a while, discharge it by unpowering the PSU and pressing the power button and then try to turn it on, it will do so for a split second before turning itself back off: the fan LEDs will flash and the fans will jiggle a bit.

 

I've cleared the CMOS, but it didn't do anything. Of course, I've also reseated all the power cables, and the RAM with the same result.

 

Any... ideas? :wacko:

Sounds like some kind of grounding issue, which is a bit hard to diagnose ...

mobo probably busted.. or the psu, If you conected everythig right... and its not working..well... bad luck man.. I hope you mounted your cpu cooler right, If not check that... but yeah.. If you can ask someone for a spare psu to try the mobo if its working... well the mobo is new.. if its not working you'll get a new one for sure

or the psu

 

Good idea. I'm actually jump testing it right now, after some googling. The fan is turning itself on and immediately back off. Interesting! I think the PSU is defective, or something.

 

Edit: I created a whole thread for nothing, ha ha ha.
