Pc won't start, help!

[Sir Lags A Lot]

This morning it was storming and my dad said I should hook my pc to a power surge protector in case of something happened. I feel asleep and woke back up and then hooked my pc, monitor and stuff up to the surge protector. Then I turned it on and then nothing. So you know the specs are a Intel core i7 6700 quad core, 16gb of ddr4, 500gb hdd, and a 750ti. The only thing that I modified was putting the 750ti in it. This pc is actually a prebuilt hp. To be exact, an hp elite desk g2. The only thing concerning is the 200w psu it has. Now I can't just go and buy a 400w or something cause the board and are custom hp built. 2 six pins and a p2 connector? When I press the power button, when it worked, a power symbol would light up and a small dot below it would flash from time to time. But now the pc won't turn on and only has the the white dot on when the power is pressed. Their is also a green led on the motherboard that aluminates before and after this happened. I even tried unplugging the 750ti and still the same. This pc is only a few months old and if the cpu is bad then u hope my parents house insurance will cover it because of a possible surge.

Make sure all your IO is connected properly, I highly doubt something was fried and think you just forgot to turn on your monitor or something.

Oops nvm

Is the switch on the surge protector flipped to the on position?

He says there's a light.

 

If there was a surge then you'd know, other stuff would be broken. More likely this is a simple problem you haven't thought of yet. Make sure everything is connected (both IO and inside the PC).

Well the cpu isn't spinning and all the connections are plugged in properly, including in and out.

The CPU fan is not spinning? Is there another fan header on your mobo?

 

Also, does your mobo have a speaker? Are there any beeps?

Start removing components and testing them one by one, if you can.

There is no other fan header on the board and there is no beeps from the built in speaker, which won't do this if the pc will start.

Well the only thing that I can really remove would be the ram, but I can try that.

 

By testing them you mean putting each component one at a time into another pc?

 

Oh and the cpu area would emit a high pitched sound and when the power button on the front of the case is held down the noise is more high piched.

 

While I was removing components trying stuff, i removed the four pin cpu connector and the same thing would happen if it was plugged in. Does this mean the cpu is dead?

 

Someone suggested that I take some components out and see if anything changed in the boot. But I tried disconnecting the 4 pin cpu connector and tried powering the pc on it did the same exact thing when the 4 pin was plugged in. To understand this pls read the link I put in. I suppose that my cpu might be dead!

[Jurrunio]

not sure why would you test removing the CPU power connector. It shouldnt work even in idel conditions.

 

If it's dead, then its time to use the warranty

So I was doing gaming last night and went to bed with my pc shut down. I woke up the next day and tried to play again. But it wouldnt turn on. I checked and everything was plugged in correctly inside and out. The green light on my motherboard is on like usually. But it makes a high piched sound if you put your ear close to it when the power supply is plugged in. Then I would hold the power button and the sound would get more high piched. Why is this, cpu fan won't spin or psu fan. It doesn't do anything beside a front white light by the power button when it is pressed. Pls help!

Motherboard or PSU could've fucked itself.

What's your setup and were you running any overclocks?

[Sir Lags A Lot]

Ok, its pretty new, a few months old. It's a prebuilt, an hp elite desk g2 with a core i7 6700 none k so no overclocking here, 16gb ddr4, 500gb hdd only, 200w psu. And I did put a 750ti in it with some mods to the case to it would fit. I would think It would be the psu but it seems to have some at least some because the green light on the motherboard lights up, idk.

[Grifterguru]

Sounds rather like a PSU failure.

That "high pitched sound" you mention (like an electronic screech) could be the indication of a componaent failure within the PSU.

Do you have a "Spare" PSU or one you could temporarily use (borrow from elsewhere maybe?) to test the dead PSU theory?

[Fasauceome]

Only 200W? The 750ti isn't the most efficient card, and the 6700, also being a couple generations old, isn't as optimal as it used to be. Get yourself a nice new power supply and hope the PSU failure didn't take anything else with it. Check out the PSU tier list on the forum, it'll help you shop.

[Sir Lags A Lot]

I thought it would be the problem, and yes I knew that the 750ti needed a better psu but the motherboard requires a special hp psu with some wierd connector configurations. Even then I did clock the 750ti down about 300 mghz to save some lifespan. Also the largest wattage psu that is a 280w and have to save some money for one, I'm 14 so this sucks.

Post a pic of the PSU, I bet you could jank a better PSU in there.

The two 6 pins and the p2? These are the cable that come out of the power supplies.

 

I couldn't upload the pic. I'll try to find one of the internet

 

This is a link to the power supply. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-HP-EliteDesk-Platinum-796349-001/dp/B0798S1X27&ved=2ahUKEwjchuqdzpjdAhUq6oMKHVdaBXsQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw2QyVEwrlNNJrJ-PTdf3SSJ

That is positively bizarre. I recommend taking all the good parts and putting them in working hardware.
