Hey everyone I'm mostly making this post because I really need some help.
I'll start by describing my situation and my computer:
Psu: ATX Switching power supply ATX-1B680W
Motherboard: h55m usb3- rev2.0
CPU: Core i7 860 2.8 ghz (Quad-Core)
8gb ram ddr3 1333mhz (4x2gb)
Graphics card before installing the other one:
Nvidia Gtx 460 (1gb)
HDD 500gb
Today I just got my new graphics card (RX 580 8gb) and I tried putting it in my computer, I had to make some changes to it, had to move the hard drive so it would fit and everything.
It requires an 8 pin connector.
However when I installed it, I tried turning my pc on and everything, and it turned on for a bit but then shut down by itself. I got worried so I just turned it off by holding the power button for 10 seconds then unplugged it. I tried putting my old graphic card in (gtx 460 1gb) to see if it would boot that way, but now I realized that the cpu fan is not spinning anymore. I see some lights that turn on from the motherboard as usual, but it won't boot up. It's like if the cpu fans started spinning but stop after a second, everything else even the gtx 460 fans are spinning, could it be that it somehow fried the motherboard, cpu maybe. I don't really know what could've happened, and I'm pretty stressed right now because I got have some projects to work on tomorrow, any help would be appreciated.
