Okay, so a few weeks ago, I tried turning on my PC (I built it) but it wouldn't properly boot. Usually, I just press the power button, fans go up, and the power and reset button light up, and then windows launches the same way as any other computer, but that day, it wouldn't work. The power button would light up, but not the reset button, and it would launch for the first 1/2 seconds like normal but then would have the fans running at a very low speed, and was essentially silent. I took the side panel off and saw that the power supply fan wasn't spinning. I then decided maybe it was a problem with the power supply so i sent it to corsair and they sent me a new one. When I tried installing the new one, it had the same problem, but after trying some things, I somehow got it to work. Then, yesterday, I decided to install my new hyper 212 evo cooler from cooler master. Though a pain to install (I have a very small micro tax case) it went fine. However, when I tried booting it up, I had the same problem as I had had a few weeks prior. I then unplugged everything except the motherboard and cpu from the psu. Tried launching that, and wouldn't work. I then plugged in the GPU and it did the same thing as before when it boots for 1/2 seconds. Does anyone know how I can fix this? 

 

GTX 670 FTW

 

TX 650 PSU 

 

AMD A10 7700K (3.4 GHz standard clock) 

 

16 GB DDR3 2X8 1600MHz Ram

sorry lol 

what is it doing 

freezing while booting ? or just not doing anything at all when u hit power

reset bios redo your settings / reinstall windows lol

Okay, so essentially, I turn it on, the fans roar, then they become really really slow, and then it is just really quiet. I hear the drives spinning and stuff, but it won't boot. I dint really reinstall anything last time, or do anything with bios, so I  don't think that that will help that much.

what mobo do you have and do you get video output on your monitor at all?

 

if not you could try to reset the cmos often there's a button or jumper, if there's not you can remove the battery (disconnect ac for this one)

if its posting ur windows might be corupt, it happens hard drive might be dying or just got surged 

reinstall 

i don't think its anything with hard drive though, because last time, the same thing happened, and I was able to fix it, without reinstalling anything. Thing is I don't remember what i did.

you can remove all memory but one stick, then try each memory slot with that stick, you can also try the other sticks. if the issue persists it isn't likely a memory issue. (disconnect everything else like hdd, odd and usb devices you don't need like keyboard and monitor)

 

then remove your gpu and try onboard graphics, if the issue still persists it's likely that the mobo is dead still, try the steps i mentioned in my previous post

So turns out, stupid o'l me forgot to actually snap the ram sticks in, so they were in, but the latches weren't snapped in so the ram wasn't actually in contact with the receptors, and so the second my friend opened my pc he said my ram was loose, snapped it in, and it booted just fine.
