Hi,

Please help!!

I built my pc over 3 years ago and it worked for about 6 months until I moved away from home for 2 weeks but when I came back when I tried to turn it on but the psu fan and cpu fan spins for about 2 seconds then stops I can't get it to display a bios or anything I even brought a on board speaker to see if it beeps anything and nothing displays on the onboard display on my motherboard either

I then tried to boot it with just the cpu, stock cpu fan, psu, motherboard and ram but it didnt make a difference the same thing kept happening!

Over the years I brought parts to try and find out what is making it not work

First I brought a motherboard and that didn't make a difference

Then I brought some more ram but that didn't make a difference!

The only other thing I can think of would be the cpu

But after trying different things from posts from the Internet I realise if I don't plug the 8 pin cpu cable into the motherboard it runs perfectly with the cpu fan keeps spinning and so does the psu but obviously no display since the 8 pin wasn't connected!

Does this mean that I have either shorted 2 motherboards because how unlucky I seem to be or do you think it's more likely to be the cpu? Or do you think it could be something else?

Thanks

Specs:

Cpu -
intel i7 4770k

Motherboard -
Asus maximus vi hero
Then got
Asus maximus vii ranger

Cpu cooler-
Corsair h100i
then used
Stock intel cpu cooler that came with the i7

Ram-
Corsair dominator gt 8gb x 2 ddr3
Then got
Fury hyper x 4gb ddr3

Psu-
Corsair Ax860
Then got
Corsair vs550

I'd keep away from the VS550W unit if I were you. It's an expensive paper weight. You forgot to include the SSD/HDD to your system and the GPU's make and model. Please include them.

On another note, back it was running, what was the OS you had on it? Have you tried breadboarding your system while using your AX860 unit? It may be a good idea to borrow a PSU from your friend that is at least 650W off of a reliable brand and see if the system boots up to BIOS. I'm assuming you own a GTX1000 series card seeing how you dropped from 860W to 550W.
