So recently my power supply shorted and broke meaning that I had to get a new one. When I did I bought the SuperNova 750w G2 to future-proof myself and plugged it all in. I tried turning it on and it didn't work however using a test it provided showed that it worked. I don't know what to do because I know the power supply works but it won't turn on the rest of the computer. I think it's a motherboard issue but want to be sure so is there any way to troubleshoot?

Try this:

-Unplug everything from your motherboard and remove it from your case, placing it on top of your motherboard box

-Remove your power supply, set it near you motherboard.

-Plug in the 24 pin connector to your motherboard.

-Plug your power supply into the wall.

-Carefully use a non-magnetic screwdriver to jump start your mother board by placing the tip of the screw driver between to the two power switch pins on the front panel connector. 

Does it light up or turn on in any way?  If not, one of the two needs to be returned for a replacement.  If it does, something else in your system is either broken or connected wrong.  Step by step, plug in each component seperately and try to turn the system on.  When  you have isolated the broken component, return it.

 

I would highly recommend finding a YouTube walkthrough for this process as it may be a bit confusing.  I think Linus made one.

 

Also, make sure that you have a good outlet to plug your system into.  I had an issue with this as I have my system in my crappy college-house basement.  I ended up running an extension cable directly to the power box to get a grounded connection.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

I recently upgraded my graphics card to a gtx 960 4gb and had it work fine with my h110m-d motherboard. However now my motherboard has broken and my dad and the local computer repair shop thinks the graphics card is the source, I however think that my power supply which broke around the same time broke my motherboard. All I need is a clear answer of whether or not my graphics card and motherboard are compatible or whether I'd need to upgrade my motherboard. 

 

Specifics:

Motherboard: H110M-D m-atx

 

Graphics card: Nvidia GTX gigabyte 960 4gb

 

Thanks to anyone who decides to help.

Did you not plug in the 6-pin/8-pin power connectors to the GPU?

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.9 Ghz  | Gigabyte AB350M Gaming 3 |  PaliT GTX 1050Ti  |  8gb Kingston HyperX Fury @ 2933 Mhz  |  Corsair CX550m  |  1 TB WD Blue HDD


Inside some old case I found lying around.

Yes, any modern card will work in a H110 motherboard. Since UEFI became a thing, and video cards started to implement that as well, compatibility isn't really something that can be doubted for retail hardware.

 

A shitty PSU can wreck a board pretty easily, so which one did you have? Also, you didn't by any chance put an overpowered CPU like an i7-7700K on that puny H110 board, did you?
