Hey there,
so I've had my computer for about 4 years (self-built). I was on my computer last night with no issues and out of nowhere, the computer has shut down. I try turning it back on and it won't turn back on at all. I stood up and immediately started smelling burning components as did my girlfriend sat across the room.
I turned the PSU off pretty quickly and left it a while to cool down. I tried about an hour or two later and it now won't turn on at all (still light going to the mobo)
I've started disassembling one by one to find the problematic area and I've come to no conclusion... I've taken the computer apart and cleaned everything down. as a precaution I took the cpu cooler off, cleaned both the pump head and cpu down with isopropanol, applied some Arctic cooling mx-4 thermal compound and reinstalled. I seen no damage to the cpu, nothing to the back of the motherboard behind the cpu. I checked all the hard drives, pulled each one out, couldn't smell any burning on any of the hard drives or any damage to them.
I've taken out the PSU and can't smell anything on this either. To check the PSU hasn't failed I completely removed it from the case and using the detection tool, the PSU still powered on with the fan moving.
The GPU still looks in good condition and wouldn't prevent me from turning it on.
I've also tried booting the computer from the 'START' button on the motherboard and it still hasn't started. Nor does it power on from the switch.
I literally have no idea what else to check... I can post pictures of anything requested if it at all helps but I can't smell any burning lingering smell, it's also worth mentioning that when the power supply is turned on, the motherboard still lights up in its usual manner (Board has red LEDs on board) as well as the start and reset buttons on the motherboard still lighting up. LEDs are also lighting up on keyboard, mouse and mousemat.
PC specs are below:
Intel i7 4790K (wasn't overclocked at time of it turning off)
EVGA GTX 980Ti Superclocked 6GB
Asus Maximus hero VII LGA1150
Corsair Vengence 16GB 2333Mhz (2 x 8GB)
Corsair h110i GTX cooler
2 Western digitial 1TB blue
256GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD
NTZX Hue+
EVGA G2 Supernova 850W Gold PSU
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Cheers
