Hello.
Yesterday at night, I turned off my pc as usual and went to sleep, nothing out of the ordinary. Today, when I woke up and tried to turn it on, it just refuses to POST. My motherboard have its speakers, so I'm used to hear the POST beep, which is not happening today.
I noticed my GPU fan starts spinning, and then stops. After a click noise, it then repeats this cycle. I don't believe it to be the issue though, because it used to do the spin and stop everytime its turned on, so it just seems like the computer is trying over and over to POST. For the sake of trying, I took my GPU off the setup and the result was the same.
Next potential culprit, I thought, RAM sticks. I took them all off and heard the mobo beeps, as expected. But then, even with a single stick on any slot is enough for the computer not to POST. I didn't try all the combinations possible, but I'm thinking it's not the issue.
So my question is: what else could be the issue and how could I try to diagnose it?
My specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3
CPU: AMD FX 8320e
GPU: AMD Radeon R7 360 2GB
Can't really remember the exact model, but I'm using 4 RAM sticks of 4GB, DDR3 from Corsair
PSU is a cheap generic brand, don't remember details, but it's "power" is over the top for the machine, 750W (Bought with such an output already knowing that it probably doesn't deliver it all, but should suffice for the machine)
Edit: More info on the PSU. Apparently this is the PSU I have: TDA Power Atx 750W (http://tda.com.br/br/index.php/produtostda/fontes-e-energia/atx750wp4). The warranty sticker on it points that I have it since 2018.
