I built a PC in late 2016. It worked find although I rarely used it. Havent touched it in a couple years until today.
I went to start it up and it shut off a few seconds later.
It starts all the fans and lights turn on. The CPU_LED lights up real quick, a couple seconds later the DRAM_LED flashes once, about 5 seconds later it turns back on for a second or two and goes off. Then the VGA_LED comes on for a few seconds and turns off. After that the BOOT_DEVICE_LED lights up for a few seconds, it turns off the CPU_LED lights up for just a split second and the computer turns off. Never has any noticeable video output. Green power LED on motherboard always stays on and I can restart the process by hitting the start button,
Ive tried swapping the memory to the other slots, and running each stick individually. Unplugging everything I could except what was required to run it (PSU, GPU no integrated graphics, memory) . Had another FX cpu laying around and swapped it in. Made a bootable USB and tried that. Reseated everything. Clearing CMOS everytime i made a change. Swapped power button to reset switch. No changed noticed. Tried different outlet, and verified video cable is good
Setup is
FX-8320 (tested later with an FX-43 something)
Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
EVGA 500W PSU
Ballistic 8GB 1600 x2
WD Blue 1TB HDD
I need to do a little light video editing and wanted to see if this was up to the task. I understand its probably not, but I was hoping to get it going relatively quickly and cheaply then make the decision if I need to upgrade or if I can limp this along a while.
Im a little out of practice with the computer diagnosis so bear with me if I say something stupid or dont understand.
