Power supply fried?

I was playing a game of rainbow six siege. Then my computer just randomly turns off. My computer does not turn on at all. I tried the paperclip test and it didn't turn on unless I did this wrong. The power supply led on the back is still on though so I wonder if it can be the motherboard also? Cpu should be fine from overheating since I got 2 fans on it

I have an intel i7 6700k Skylake processor. 16 gb of ram. 750 watt psu. Gtx 1070 

Are any board LEDs still on? Does the mobo POST? Fans run? or completely dead? Got any other boards to test the PSU on? Other PSUs to test the board on?

I tried that and left it off and disconnected for an hour. And no weird smells

what motherboard does your system have?

MSI Gaming B150 Gaming M3 LGA 1151

what side of the ATX Power plug did you apply the paper clip? The side with the latch or no?

Why would you create a post here without mentioning the model of PSU? You just said "750W PSU"

 

That could be anything. It could be a crappy "750W" unit that can only output 200W on the 12V rail, or it could be an EVGA 750P2.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Did you disconnect the PSU from ALL of your parts?  Because if there was a short of one of your components that caused the PSU to latch, the paper clip isn't going to do anything until the short is removed.

I take it you didn't mention the kind of PSU it is because you don't know, right?

 

Do you know if it's one where the fan doesn't spin at low loads?

 

If it's not and you bridged the correct two pins of the PSU, the fan would spin.  If it didn't, the PSU is likely dead.

 

If it's a PSU with a "zero RPM fan mode", then you'd need a multi-meter to check the output voltages while the paper clip is inserted into the 24-pin to see if it's still working.

 

Interesting that you have a PSU with an LED on it, though.  Don't see that very often.
