My PC still doesn't work

[Nohemi]

Hi

I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum (sorry)

I want to upgrade to Ryzen. My PC is currently not working (you can look at my previous troubleshooting posts for more details). I went to Micro Center and they said it was my power supply, so I got a new psu and guess what... it still doesn't work. I even used a paper clip to test the PSU and it definitely works without the rest of my pc. I am positive that it is the motherboard (but I am not 100% sure because I don't have another motherboard to test). Should I sell my two Intel G3258 Pentiums (both 1 year old) for $60 each and my 8gb ram for $25? Should I not upgrade to Ryzen and risk buying a new motherboard (even though there is a chance it might not work)? This is what I'm thinking about (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130731&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-VigLink2-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=8167372&SID=j2o5xpgx8u000a1700053). Right now, I have about $140 dollars, but that is not enough to upgrade, so that is why I want to sell my parts.

I'm sorry if this is a really messy and scattered post. I'm just kind if

Did they not test the CPU and Motherboard?

I guess not, those bastards.

Have you tried any of the usual trouble shooting methods?

does anyone know any place where I can test my parts by any chance, or at least somewhere where they actually do a good job at troubleshooting?

eBay and craigslist, the pricing should be fine.

1. Try booting your PC without the GPU.

2. Try only 1 stick of memory in either slot.

3. Swap the CPU out for your 2nd one.

 

yadda, yadda, yadda
