$2k Computer Won't Turn On?!?!?!

[CC268]

Well I feel pretty hopeless right now...computer was on and plugged in my NZXT GRID V2 into the USB motherboard header and all of a sudden my PC shut down. It won't even turn on any more. My specs are in my signature.

 

What the hell do I do?

Toptip: Don't plug things in whilst your system is on. Where did you plug it in?

[CC268]

Into the motherboard...how do I know what is bad?

[Syntaxvgm]

Why would you plug something in while it's on?!?!?!


Anyway just unplug the psu from the wall AND MOTHERBOARD and plug it back in after a bit

Sounds like you fried your mobo. Do you see any lights on your mobo when you press the power button?

[Paytend01]

Yah done fried the motherboard, learn your lesson? NEVER, add or take something out or hell, any work while your pc is on, and unplug it from the wall

When you do things like that it can arc across the terminals and cause a spike in voltage (well I think it does, may need to research it). You've probably killed the board and possibly anything else connected to it, if you believe in god mate I would pray and turn it on in a little while.

Dear god, this is like when someone uses a fork to get a piece of toast outta the toaster while it's still on.

My motherboard has a power light and that light does light up and the blue CMOS light in the back lights up....but you guys might be right.

Now I'm scared to plug in my USB drives while the computer is on...

I was plugging in the USB for my Kraken cooler...

Plugging a USB drive into the USB port when it is running won't hurt it mate, it isn't what I said. Plugging or unplugging a fan header when the system is running can cause damage.

Oh lord Gaben. Please have mercy.
