I have just upgraded my CPU, motherboard and ram from an i3 4160, Gigabyte B85-HD3, 8Gb of ddr3 ram to an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, Asrock B450M Pro4, 16Gb of ddr4 ram. When I test benched the new parts on the motherboard box along with the psu, nothing turns on, it appears dead. When I plug the PSU...
Thing is PSU works with my old cpu, mobo and ram combo, meaning that cpu fan and psu fan start spinning. I think the new motherboard is at fault here. Mobo was installed properly as I fitted all the standoffs required.
The old parts are CPU: i3 4160, mobo: Gigabyte B85-HD3 and 2 ddr3 modules. And I do not need a gpu because the pc doesn't power on, no fans are spinning. My worry isn't POST or booting because it does not POWER ON. All pins on the new CPU are intact.
I have just bought a new cpu, motherboard and ram to replace my old parts. When I test benched them nothing is turning on, no cpu fan spin, no psu fan spin. Tried it again with the old parts, fans started spinning. On the new components, I took out the CPU and tried powering it up then. Still...
I've been searching for a laptop to use during university for different purposes (I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but I will do some word, powerpoint and coding for sure). During my search I've found the two best performance ratio laptops in my region, which are as follows:
Acer E5-575G-54LY...
So I tried to short jump start the power supply by using a paper clip introduced into the green wire and a black wire. I switched the power button at the back of it and nothing happened. Shouldn't the PSU's fan spin? I haven't plugged in to it any other fan.
Thanks, I will be trying that soon. I haven't tried shorting the power pins yet to see if it would start, but I checked the wires that go into the power button on the case and everything looked fine. But I'll try what you said and come back with another response.
I think I might have a faulty power supply because when I shut down my PC I often cannot open it up again. It just stays dead, even though I'm pressing the power button. It seems like there's no power in it, but when I connected my phone to it, the phone started charging. The only major problem...
