So I'm a strong follower of the tech tips and other channels so I figured I would give this forum a chance. 

 

So my problem is simple I was playing rainbow six and right after I closed the game my computer shut off and the power led flashed as if it was asleep. 

First this I did was try to was it up but to no eval. After that I hope we up the pc to do rough diagnostics... a little warm but the pc is air cooled in Washington and if had it a little over a year so nothing shocking about it cooking eggs. 

After days of troubleshooting trading parts with my friends pc I found that all of the parts in my build work on either motherboard except...

If I have all my parts together the pc won't even power on but if I unplug the cpu power it will just no post because no cpu. 

If I take all my parts but my cpu and put them in a different motherboard with my psu, ram, gpu and hdd in a different motherboard it works. But if I put my cpu in his board it fails. 

If I put all his parts on my motherboard it will fail once you plug in the cpu power. 

If I use a volt meter to test my psu is works but if I test it while it's wired to the cpu and motherboard it fails. 

The only test that rose different results was if I use his motherboard and my cpu it will power but not post. 

 

My assumption is my nice cpu and my motherboard have shorted together blowing both parts. Because matter what build if it includes my motherboard it won't power on. And any build that includes my cpu won't post. 

 

I would like feedback as well as any ideas or things I could do. I assume after a year no company will replace my parts put of failure so I'm already feeling the pain. 

 

More info about my pc and it's usage. 

My pc was used mainly for casual use and gameing. 4k and recording/streaming. 

It was left on most of the time and never reached dangerous temps that I noticed. 

A few months ago (assumption) one of my 2 cpu fans seazed up but it didn't cause any thermpthrottles or shut Down from overheating so I didn't notice it. Coolermaster hyper d92 was overkill anyways. 

 

Overclocking. The only overclocking I did was automatic safe of gene for the ram and cpu but I disabled that 5 months ago because I didn't need it. The gpu was overcooked by it's stock software. 

 

Specs

 

Cpu  AND 8350 4ghz 8 cores

 

Gpu MSI GTX 980ti 6g twin froza 

 

2 8 gig sticks of crucial 1600 ram nothing special

 

Motherboard MSI 970a-g46 atx am3+ Nothing spectacular but it's bare bones 

 

Cpu cooler. Cooler master hyper D92 55cfm

 

Psu corsair bronze 750 watt.

 

Case. NZXT phantom red (giant case lots of fans)

 

HDD 2 TB WD blue 

 

I think that some up everything I know. 

I just know my cpu cost me a lot of money at the time of release and the motherboard is unobtainable But I don't care to much for it. 

 

Thanks to anyone that has any idea or wants to help. Again I don't think AMD or MSI will replace my parts after a year but I know I didn't do anything bad to my system for it to just up and fail. I have treated her like an angle for the whole year. 

 

Great fan of everything you guys do here and I hope to figure this out and not have to rebuy half my pc.

Seems like both components are dead, yeah.

might be a PSU thing. have you tried swapping PSUs?
