Hey guys i really need some advice about my rig. It was a home build around a year ago and has run flawlessly all year. Around a month ago it randomly shut off and when i tried to turn it back on the fans would spin for 1/2 second then stop with no signs of life.
At first i thought it was the PSU so i bought a new one and tried that. This time everything lights up and seems fine for 3-4 seconds then it goes into a continuous power cycle.
I bought a new case so i could be sure the mobo was not shorting on the old case as a few screws were missing. Still the same problem. I then came to this website and tried everything on the post about things to check before you post about power cycling. Still did not resolve the issue.
After this i thought id try a new motherboard.
Unfortunaly the mobo arrived DOA but it did not power cycle (which means its not a PSU problem right?). After getting a different motherboard as a replacement i tried again and the same issue happened. I thought it must be another DOA board so i sent that one back aswell only to be told that its working on their end. This board ws sent back and the same issue is still happening.
Ive tried everything, breadboarding, changing/removing components.
Its got to the point where its just the motherboard, power button and PSU and its still happening, no CPU RAM or anything.
Ive tried all the advice that the company i bought it from could offer and its not made any difference. Im also reluctent to send it back again for RMA because last time i tried it and they said it was working i was charged a lot of money for (wasting their time).
What could be causing this problem?
