I built a new desktop recently with the following components:
MOBO: B450 DS3H (working on previous build)
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: Vengence LPX 16gb
PSU: 500W ThermalTake silver
NvME: WD_BLACK 500Gb SSD (GEN 4)
GPU: GTX 760 (friends old one)
After fully installing this setup I tried to boot the computer on and all I was greeted with was spinning fans. I couldn't even turn the computer off. I had to switch the PSU off.
So i figured the MOBO was dead so i upgraded it to
MOBO: B450 DS3H v2 (working in different build)
same results
I upgraded the CPU and removed the GPU
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G (iGPU)
same results
Tried new PSU
650W fully modular corsair
same results
reset CMOS battery
same results
took ram out to listen for beep codes
no beep codes, same result
took entire setup out of case and tried to boot it on
same results
After taking the second MOBO out i noticed scratches on the bottom from one of the standoffs which had become quite pointy. Both MOBO's had similar damage on the bottom (around the standoff holes)
could this damage on the bottom of the MOBO from the case be the cause?
