possibly a fried psu

[BolivianGamer]

so i was doing cable management and i tried to conect the fans to a diy hub, i turn on the computer and then the hub started sparking so i unpluged my computer fromthe wall i revomed the hub and tried to turn on the computer again but now it wont turn on but the fans in the gpu try to spin and then they just stop

am using a cx750m from corsair

how do i know if the psu is fried?

[Dabasepc]

by the name. cx750. u know its dead

Sounds like the psu is fried. Why did you use your own fan splitter? They're pretty cheap to buy, and usually wont blow up things.

A CX has nothing to do with it... He shorted his PSU by using a home made device, how is this a PSU fault.

Made my own fan hub and it's so automated and full of functions that you can't buy them under €50 here while I bought the parts for €5, making your own fan hub is a smart thing to do but you need some knowhow and not just randomly connect cables.

It's fried, best you can do is give it a proper funeral and replace it.

 

Also don't try turning the PC back on just in case it could fry anything else.

well since you can't really turn it on i would suggest taking it apart piece by piece. but FIRST replace the PSU. It is totally fried. Don't waste your time on replacing parts before you fix the original source.

Uh oh....you should get at least a small response from the system (quoting Austin in Scrapyard Wars)

Sam is right, jesus these bandwagon jumpers.

I'm only backing up the fact that CX power supplies are bad. I have a friend who did a budget build (basic amd cpu and gpu) with a CX, it died, he got an rma from corsair, and it killed his components the second time.

I have had 10 cx's in different builds without fail, they aren't as bad as they are made out to be at all.

Well you tripped the short circuit protection on the unit, most you have to unplug everything and replug it all back in for it to work but if you want to test the unit without components using the paperclip method to jump start the PSU and a multimeter to probe the connections is the next best thing.

when you say the unit your talking about the psu or the computer it self

[dragoon20005]

PSU

 

see if you can power it without any components

 

use the paper clip test

PSU itself, using the parperclip method to start the PSU.

Ok what did they do to the PSU just curious?

 

And for the LED try reseating the RAM and making sure the XMP is enabled if your RAM has that capability.
