Pc is completely dead.

[Kirkulis]

So, I was playing some games on my system, walked out of the room for a couple of minutes leaving the game open, came back, touched the computer case on the fan exhaust and the pc died. It won't boot, it want make a sound, the fans won't turn no diagnostic led lights turn on no nothing. I tried removing the gpu,swapping ram, made sure everything is connected, made sure that the power outlet works, plugged on the pc on the wall, removed everything from the mobo except for the cpu and the 24 pin and 8 pin. Nothing... The temperatures were good everything below 70c under load, I made sure he power button is not the problem by shorting the pins on the mobo. The only thing that show life is my mouse, whose led (that stay on even after I shut down the computer) are still on. Cloud it be the psu or mobo is dead but they still provide power on the mouse? I don't have molex fans to check the psu, nor I have tried shorting the pins on the 24pin cable because I have read that this doesn't indicate anything since there is no load on the psu's power rail. The system is new. 

Psu seasonic m12ii-520evo, cpu ryzen 5 2600, mobo msi b450 tomahawk, ram gskill ripjaws 3200mhz 16gb 2dimms, ssd sumsung Evo 860, hdd 1tb WD blue. Everything is brand new, bought just 3 weeks ago. Except for the gpu, a sapphire rx 580 nitro+ 8gb. This was bought used from eBay, it was working fine, everything checked (temp were normal and scored on benchmarks where on part with all the reviews for the same card). I just don't understand how it can run for 3 weeks with no problems and suddenly it dies when I touch the case( nzxt h500). Even if the gpu is bad and the country does have igpu, the pc should start.. 

 

Any ideas of what could be wrong? Why do I have power on the mouse?

Must have been some stellar static you had on your body lol.

 

So... I'm hoping you didn't just hit the PSU button on the back. When I go to bed at night I shut my PC off and then turn the power switch off. Even with it switched off my RGB mat still produces light and can switch modes. 

 

Maybe you accidentally hit the PSU button and are over thinking this.

 

If everything is brand new, than you should be able to just exchange it for the same one. Explain your issue and how you're still having power but it won't post. Mention you had no power outages and didn't accidentally unplug it or anything while running. Your PSU should be providing enough power no problem. 

 

Even if you touched the computer case where the fans are the metal case would ground you and nullify any static you had. 

 

I would just try to exchange it for a replacement if it's possible, if you bought all separate parts than it may take a while

Could be that you tripped the ground connected on your fuse relay (if your house mains has that (England, Singapore etc)), or the 9V IEC lead could have come a bit loose

Try making sure everything is plugged in well and good. 

It could be a PSU issue if there is no power being delivered to anything, if your mobo has LED's then these should light up when the psu is delivering power in a switched off state, or sometimes the ethernet port has the lights for gigabit and exchange lit up, even if the system is shut down. 

Try seeing if all the cables are seated as fully as possible in the back of the PSU and to their relevant devices

That is weird do you have any spare boards or power supplies. I am not sure that it is the power supply

No guys, I made sure the psu switch is on and no I am not Zeus.

The fuse relay is OK, there was no power fluctuation on the hole house nothing deemed out of the ordinary. 

There are two things I can think that might have to do with it. 

1st 

You know, atx mobos middle screw in not usually a screw but a stand off to aline the motherboards holes with the one son the case. But u can remove it and replace it with a stand off that has a whole for sale screw. This is what I did. Could this be? 
2nd.  On the io shield there are two small fins on each hole, while I put on the mobo two of them one in the ethernet power and one of a USB port bend inwards blocking the mobos ports. Me being bored to take everything apart I just bended them outwards so they are out of the way..csn this be? Would I get problems from the start and not 3 weeks afterwards?

[YaBoiWill]

Try taking everything out the case, putting the mobo on the box, connecting it to the PSu and see if anything is happening. Then add CPU, then ram, then video, then drives.

If nothing happens to the board, i.e no lights and no power, then its most likely the board. 

I assume the the PSU fan is on all the time, so if its not spinning then its probs a PSU issue. 

Although I cant explain how it managed to just shut off. 

Maybe the fuse in the IEC cable. Try with a different one and see if it makes a difference

UPDATE

 

I put my psu on another system and that system did not work. The others system psu did successfully gave power to my system WITHOUT the gpu because we where idiots and forgot to get extra pcie psu power connectors for the gpus power delivery. I returned the psu to the shop I got it and had them check it for me. In a few days I will have an answer, I hope it's just that. Though I have to say the way it died, the fact that I worked for 3 weeks and that it's from a very reputable brand seems weird. I hope there is not something in my system that made it fail.

Could have just been a faulty unit tbh
