Sounds like those repair shops are either stupid or trying to generate some revenue from the situation. Anyway, i would say it's a bad motherboard, is it possible to return it? Motherboard has pretty bad rating on newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130661

RAM is overkill if you are only going to use it for gaming, but rest looks good.

I don't feel like a 500 watt psu is enough for fx-6300 and r9 280, especially if you are going to overclock either one. I would go for a better psu: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/NDjWzy PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor (£73.96 @...

I would personally go for a better motherboard+SSD, and 8GB of RAM. If you ever need more in the future, you can very easily upgrade to 16GB. I would recommend EasyLover's build.. r9 280x is slightly better than gtx 770 and cheaper as well.

Crossfire? No way. i7 4770k? No way. 120GB SSD? No way. G-Unit's build is the best!

+1 for the R9 280x. Significant cheaper and slightly more powerfull.

Why do you pick a z97 motherboard with the non-K i5 4430? Do you plan on upgrading to broadwell i7? Why the 650 watt psu? 550 watt will be plenty for this build, assuming you are not going to SLI. Why the expensive ram? Makes no sense, cheap ram without heatsink will be just as good. Why not...

Leonell12's build is good, except the 16GB ram. For gaming, it's a pure waste of money. 8GB is plenty. @andrew9292 The 4670 has a turbo freq of 3.8 (stock 3.4) wouldn't a cpu cooler help to keep noise down, keep the cpu cooler and make sure it can always reach that turbo speed if needed? Just...

No, get windows 8.1 Just install ClassicShell and you can use it just like Windows 7, with the additional benefits of longer support, better task manager, better DirectX support in future, etc. I really don't get why anyone would advise windows 7?

Yes, i think it can run on low resolution, low settings. The SoC is weak, but the game is old.

Which gpu, 7750, 7770, 7790?

I assume you already turned off the psu, hold the power button for 10 secs. Wait, then turn psu on and boot again with the cables plugged in?

What are you going to do with the pc, just gaming? And do you want to overclock the cpu?

You are going to overclock the cpu, right? and what is your screen resolution>? Just made a list in pcpartpicker.com with the advised changes: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/ But the psu is overkill for this gpu. A 650 watt psu will be plenty! unless you plan for sli, which i wouldn't...

Not sure what is is man, but sounds like psu or motherboard. Do you have a spare psu so you can test (without gpu ofcourse)? EDIT: Just saw you are not comfortable with hardware.. maybe there is a local PC shop that can first just test your psu?
